The firm is different from its competitors in that it offers the genuine chance to work alongside people who really want to make a difference and use the law to help improve lives, communities and society\u2019, \u2018the firm&#8217;s approachability, especially coming into a brand-new environment after a law degree\/LPC. It was important to train at a firm where I felt respected and comfortable to approach people around me whilst also being given high quality work\u2019, \u2018great culture and charitable firm\u2019<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best thing about the firm?<\/strong> \u2018The environment, everyone is approachable and fee earners from all levels are keen to help us develop\u2019, \u2018the culture, approachability of colleagues, values\u2019, \u2018the flexibility through having a hybrid-working policy and the work\/home life balance\u2019, \u2018the people\u2019, \u2018the partners and everyone are really approachable and always willing to chat and help\u2019, \u2018the colleagues\u2019<\/p>\n<p><strong>Worst thing about the firm?<\/strong> \u2018The number of offices. It would be fantastic if we had more offices to visit and to expand the diversity\u2019, \u2018the pay\u2019, \u2018lack of senior lawyer visibility in the office\u2019, \u2018the cycle provisions in the Bristol office (showers, changing areas etc) could be improved\u2019, \u2018slightly outdated IT\u2019, \u2018despite continued growth and significant aspirations, the firm&#8217;s pay at trainee\/apprentice level is significantly behind other similar sized firms\u2019<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best moment?<\/strong> \u2018The best moment of my training contract so far was winning a surprise adjudication over the festive period. The team worked together well, and we were able to achieve a great result for our client\u2019, \u2018the NHS secondment I underwent\u2019, \u2018the support I have received from my supervisors and colleagues. Their expectations of you are in line with being a trainee solicitor and they give you responsibility and good quality work early on\u2019, \u2018advocating in court\u2019, \u2018completing large property deals myself\u2019<\/p>\n<p><strong>Worst moment?<\/strong> \u2018Starting a new seat is always difficult. It is frustrating to go from feeling comfortable with the subject area to day one again\u2019, \u2018working until the early hours\u2019, \u2018due to the leniency on hybrid working, I have very limited face to face contact with my team\u2019, \u2018working late to finalise a defence\u2019, \u2018being left with limited support to submit an adjudication which wasn&#8217;t ready\u2019<\/p>\n<\/p>\n                \n               \n      <h2 class=\"tab-listing\" id=\"verdict\">The Lex 100 verdict on <span class=\"highlight-firm\">Bevan Brittan<\/span><\/h2>\n       \n        \n      \n             \n        <p>    \n\t<p>Trainees at Bevan Brittan consistently pointed to the \u201cculture,\u201d \u201cvalues,\u201d and \u201cfriendly environment\u201d as key reasons for choosing the firm. Many had previous paralegal experience and were drawn back by the \u201capproachable colleagues\u201d and the \u201cdiverse range of sectors\u201d on offer. The firm\u2019s strong reputation in both \u201cpublic and private sector work\u201d was another major draw, particularly its \u201cexpertise in the health sector\u201d and \u201cfocus on third sector clients.\u201d As one trainee summed up: \u201cThe balance of private and public work stood out as an interesting opportunity to experience a wide range of work during my training.\u201d The training contract is praised for its balance of responsibility and support. According to one insider, \u201cwe are exposed to a greater degree of work and given real responsibility.\u201d Others highlighted \u201cbetter supervisor contact,\u201d \u201cno outrageous demands,\u201d and a culture that \u201cencourages collaboration with other trainees and juniors.\u201d The firm\u2019s \u201csupportive culture\u201d stood out across the board, with trainees describing colleagues as \u201capproachable,\u201d \u201ckeen to help us develop,\u201d and \u201calways willing to chat and help.\u201d A collaborative atmosphere, coupled with a \u201cfantastic hybrid-working policy,\u201d contributes to what trainees describe as a genuinely sustainable approach to work. One even noted: \u201cThere is no pressure to attend the office over and beyond what fits into your home life.\u201d Whilst on the whole, trainees found hybrid working \u201cvery good\u201d and \u201ccompletely flexible,\u201d some noted that the model can \u201clead to low attendances in the office\u201d and result in \u201cvery limited face-to-face contact with the team.\u201d Trainees\u2019 highlights ranged from \u201cbeing offered a position after my first seat\u201d to \u201cadvocating in court,\u201d with several citing high levels of responsibility on complex matters: \u201ccompleting large property deals myself,\u201d \u201cbeing involved in a surprise adjudication,\u201d and \u201chelping deliver positive impact in local areas.\u201d While the experience is broadly positive, trainees acknowledged some inconsistencies. One explained: \u201cwork-life balance can be very department-based, so sometimes can be doing multiple 12-hour days in a row.\u201d A few cited \u201cworking until the early hours,\u201d \u201clack of senior lawyer visibility,\u201d and, at the other end of the scale, \u201cstruggling to obtain chargeable work.\u201d Others raised issues around infrastructure, including \u201cslightly outdated IT\u201d and \u201ccycle provisions in the Bristol office\u201d, while several trainees felt the \u201cpay is significantly behind similar-sized firms.\u201d CSR and pro bono opportunities are widely available and well regarded, with the firm running a \u201cgreat CSR forum\u201d and \u201clots of different schemes\u201d \u2014 even if a few felt these opportunities could be \u201ctalked about more\u201d or were \u201cslow to come to fruition.\u201d For trainees looking to make an impact across both the public and private sectors \u2014 with meaningful responsibility, strong support and flexibility \u2014 Bevan Brittan presents a well-rounded training experience with plenty of scope to grow.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n        \n             \n                \n        \t\t<p>        \n              \n\n\n           \n        \n         \t\t \n\t\t <h2 id=\"ditl\">A day in the life of\u2026  Abigail Evason, 2nd Year Trainee<\/h2>\n\t\t <p><img height=\"200\" width=\"200\" alt=\"Abigail Evason, Bevan Brittan\" class=\"ditl-photo\" src=\"https:\/\/my.legal500.com\/future-lawyers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/Picture1-ditl-1.jpg\"\/>\t\t <p><strong>Departments to date:<\/strong> Local Authority; Commercial Property<\/p>         \n\t\t \t\t <p><strong>University: <\/strong>\n\t\t \t\t University of Nottingham\t\t \t\t University of Birmingham\t\t \t\t <\/p>\n\t\t         \n\t\t <p><strong>Degree:<\/strong> BA English \u2013 First Class; PGDL \u2013 Distinction; LLM SQE \u2013 Distinction<\/p>    <\/p>  \n\t\t <p><p><strong>7.00am:<\/strong> I wake up and get myself ready for a day in the office. I like to be prepared (and also to maximise sleep!) so will have laid out my clothes and packed my bag the night before. Bevan Brittan has a \u201cdress for your day\u201d policy which I take full advantage of. This afternoon I have a client meeting on Teams, so go for a smart on the top and more comfortable on the bottom style.<\/p>\n<p>I have a bit of a commute to our Birmingham office. The firm\u2019s fully flexible working policy means that I can choose when I go into the office. Of course, trainees are encouraged to go in when they can to maximise contact with and learning from more senior colleagues. I tend to split my in-office days and work from home days about 50\/50. Today is the property team\u2019s \u201canchor day\u201d so I am heading in to catch up with colleagues.<\/p>\n<p>I have woken up a bit earlier this morning so that I can take the scenic route on my walk to the station. To start my day off in the best possible way, I find it important to get those steps in early and to clear my head before work.<\/p>\n<p><strong>8.45am:<\/strong> When I arrive at the office, the first thing I do is find my desk, drop off my bag and head to the kitchen. I will usually opt for a herbal tea and a big glass of water to start the day. The kitchen is often a social hub on anchor days so I have nice chat with colleagues as they arrive to the office.<\/p>\n<p>The next order of business is to head back to my desk and deal with any urgent emails or Teams messages. After this, I write out a to-do list for the day. You never really know what might come up on any given day, so I find this helps me to prioritise as the day evolves. It also gives my day some structure.<\/p>\n<p><strong>9.15am:<\/strong> My first task of the day is to draft some transactional property documents for my supervisor to review. As a trainee in the Commercial Property team, I have learned to draft a huge variety of documents \u2013 ranging from your more typical transfers and leases to some very niche types of licence! On today\u2019s list is a lease and licence for alterations which I begin to draft. Simultaneously, I am marking up the documents to flag points I will need to discuss further with my client and points on which I might require my supervisor\u2019s input.<\/p>\n<p><strong>11.30am:<\/strong> It is now time for my weekly catch up meeting with my supervisor. We like to have formal supervision in the diary once a week so that we both know what I have on, how my capacity is looking and to discuss if I need support with anything. However, she is very much only ever a Teams message away and in practice we end up catching up a lot more than that! Today we run through my case load and the queries I have on the lease and licence I drafted this morning. She also gives me some background on an upcoming project she would like my assistance with.<\/p>\n<p><strong>12.30pm:<\/strong> At about 12.30pm I head out to grab lunch with colleagues. My choice today is a burrito bowl which I order to go. We then head back to the office and eat together out on our lovely roof terrace to get some vitamin D and a nice break ahead of what promises to be a very busy afternoon.<\/p>\n<p><strong>13.30pm:<\/strong> It is now time for our social committee meeting. The juniors in the Birmingham office have always been very involved in coordinating its social scene which presents a great opportunity to meet people working across all different teams. Today we are planning a venue visit ahead of our office Christmas party.<\/p>\n<p><strong>14.00pm:<\/strong> After taking some time to focus on drafting this morning, I now turn to managing my ongoing case load. This involves reviewing amendments to legal documents suggested by the other side as part of negotiations, sending update emails to clients and sorting out lease registrations and SDLT returns for recently completion transactions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>15.30pm:<\/strong> I now attend a client meeting with my supervisor relating to a high-value transaction where I am completing the due diligence \u2013 including drafting the title report. My supervisor and I take it in turn to lead discussions around the respective parts of the matter we are involved with, providing a progress update and taking client instructions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>16.00pm:<\/strong> Next up is our CSR committee meeting. I joined Bevan Brittan\u2019s CSR committee within my first month at the firm and it has been really rewarding to contribute to our fundraising and community initiatives. At the meeting I provide an update on the two projects I lead on: the first being a scheme where we support our fabulous office charity AgeUK Birmingham by visiting their local community groups and the second being a pro-bono clinic which I help to coordinate.<\/p>\n<p><strong>17.00pm:<\/strong> As the day is winding down, I make sure I have checked off as much of my to do list as possible and that my time recording has been completed before I head off home and get ready to do it again tomorrow!<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\t \n        \n                <h2 id=\"about\">About the firm<\/h2>\n        <p><p><strong>Introductory paragraph about the firm: <\/strong>Bevan Brittan is a leading commercial law firm.
