At Gowling WLG, we’re all about growth and success – yours and ours! Embracing change and teamwork, we’ve built a place where everyone is free to collaborate, innovate, and be proud of what we achieve together.
Here, we're all about teamwork, but we believe you're never just joining a team when you begin your time with us – you're bringing something different. Our teams are empowered to always put their work under a lens and find new and innovative ways of working to benefit our business, our people and our clients.
We're an international law firm with offices across the UK, Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Canada. In the UK, we operate from key city locations in Birmingham, London and Leeds, with strong links to our offices across the world to provide an international platform for our clients.
We offer a full suite of legal services paired with a focus on sector expertise to ensure our clients receive tailored solutions that are off the scale – not off the shelf. We pride ourselves on being a firm that offers more than just high-quality legal advice – we want to offer extraordinary client experiences that build valuable and long-lasting relationships.
Our values
The power of teamwork: We believe we can achieve much more if we work together as a team with our clients and colleagues – however talented we are as individuals. We collaborate seamlessly across services, sectors and offices – focused on the greater good for the client and the firm.
Always striving to be better: We are always striving to improve our service to clients and the way we run our own business – ambitious to improve in a highly competitive market.
We all bring something different: We all bring different backgrounds, strengths and perspectives to the team. This diversity and openness make us more relevant and valuable to our clients.
Whether you join one of our award-winning Legal teams or Business Services departments, we can promise you a place that will make you feel at home.
We know it's not just about the work you do, and we offer a variety of different benefits from free private medical insurance and permanent health insurance to volunteering days and the ability to buy up to a week's extra annual leave - we have a lot to offer and fit in with you and your lifestyle. Our Agile+ policy also helps our people to be flexible for a better balance.
We know that you want to progress and learn and our dedicated Learning & Development (L&D) team are on hand to support our teams and ensure that we invest in our people.
We work on really exciting projects. From the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games to COVID-19 vaccines, the matters our teams work on are high quality, rewarding and often career defining.
