In recent years, Birmingham has begun to reap the benefits of its efforts to encourage a flourishing professional services-based economy. Indeed, the nation’s second city offers an everincreasing choice of law firms for trainees and qualified lawyers who want to work in a major metropolitan centre.

With law firms continuing to invest in Birmingham, the number of training opportunities is increasing and students can pick the type of firm that best suits their individual needs – ranging from international to national and regional, but all offering high-calibre, quality work. Furthermore, some of the UK’s largest companies are based in the Midlands, which also has a thriving public sector.
