Welcome to the Bristows Hub

We are a European headquartered hub for litigation, transactions and advice throughout the world and have remained fiercely independent since we first began in 1837.

Today we have a client list that includes leading businesses from some of the most dynamic sectors, including tech, life sciences and brands. It means you’ll get to work with ambitious clients ranging from fast-growing start-ups and medium sized enterprises to global corporations, financial institutions and high-profile charities.

We're not the biggest, and we don't try to cover everything. But in tech, life science, brands and other dynamic sectors we really stand out. We take a different approach too: curious and friendly as well as brave and ambitious, giving you plenty of freedom and encouragement. Interested?

We recruit from all STEM disciplines.

We sponsor the Intellectual Property sector in the 2026/27 Gradcracker Toolkit.
