Bristows LLP
We are Bristows, the world’s leading specialist law firm for clients that innovate. We help clients grow in life sciences, technology and other dynamic sectors.
At Bristows, we have always been at the forefront of change. From patenting the first electrical telegraph to launching the UK’s genome sequencing project, we have been helping clients who create and embrace new technologies and ideas. We are an eclectic mix of inquisitive thinkers who are fascinated by the law surrounding cutting edge sectors. Many of the employees have science and technology backgrounds or have worked in life sciences or the technology sector. It means we are on the same wavelength and understand what makes our clients tick.
Because we have no billing targets, we ensure clients have the right combination of experts working together as one to give them the advice they need, no matter how difficult or novel the question is. It also enables our employees to keep their work-life balance and contribute to the wider culture of the firm.
