Job Title
We are pleased to be working with one of the most highly respected law firms in the South West. We are seeking applications from qualified lawyers who are either already working in the region or those that might be considering a relocation to one of the most beautiful regions in the UK. This firm has a number of offices located throughout the South West and this role can be based in any of them, with a good mix of hybrid working.
