Partner, commercial practice areas 7+ PQE – Temple Bright, Bristol

Posted on19 January 2023

Serious freedom.

Founded in 2010, Temple Bright is a law firm of around 70 partners with offices in London EC2 and Bristol. We invite applications from UK-based solicitors with 7 or more years’ post-qualification experience in leading firms or in-house.

We are an SRA authorised and regulated "new model" law firm that gives lawyers greater autonomy. Any partner can work in either office at any time or can work remotely. We have clients across the UK and beyond, ranging from individuals and owner-managed businesses to PLCs and public bodies. We cover the main commercial practice areas and make four simple promises to clients: City quality; reasonable fees; senior lawyers; responsive. We keep these promises through our pioneering business model, the chambers practice.

We don’t want to be the biggest new model law firm, just the best. We work in agile, partner-only teams. We are selective and have grown carefully. Among the major new model firms, we think we offer the best financial deal for lawyers.

The result of our strategy is that Temple Bright is a machine for winning new work and doing it well. So much so that a client following is rarely essential for new joiners.

Like the best traditional firms in the City and elsewhere, we are serious: about maintaining our culture, calibre and distinctiveness. Like other new model firms, we offer lawyers freedom: to work when and where they choose, without targets.

Temple Bright combines the best of the traditional and the innovative. To continue your career among City level colleagues, but with serious freedom, get in touch.

Burges Salmon has been an enthusiastic supporter of BLS for many years. BLS provides a valuable role in uniting and promoting the whole of the legal sector across Bristol to benefit both its members and the city. It facilitates collaboration across the sector to ensure that we can all make a difference. Whether that is driving important initiatives in, for example, Equality, Diversity and Inclusion and the use of new technologies, liaising with stakeholders and charities in our wider community or providing training to generations of lawyers, the service and support provided by BLS is invaluable. More recently BLS has taken a lead on promoting Bristol’s legal brand, encouraging legal and business services talent to come to the city, which in turn attracts clients and inward investment to our thriving and vibrant commercial community. BLS breaks down barriers and brings those in the profession together for the greater good. We are proud of our long-standing association with BLS.

Three things to say about my experience of working with Bristol Law Society. Their central team, council members and general hangers-on are just about the nicest, most generous group of people working in the legal sector today. The numerous events, awards, socials and conferences I’ve had the pleasure to attend over the years have been, without exception, top quality and supremely organised. And, thirdly, they consistently exceed and challenge the boundaries of what lawyers might assume a regional Law Society will restrict activities to – from a hugely successful charitable school meals drive to corporate social responsibility and diversity campaigns to being joint architects and coordinators of the region’s unique Bristol+BathLegalTech group, which it has been my privilege to co-chair for the last five years.

As one of the leading Insurance brokers for law firms in the UK and with a large presence in Bristol it seemed only natural for us to support the Bristol Law Society. Bristol Law Society is one of the oldest and most vibrant of the Law Societies in England and Wales. We are pleased to be working with them on important matters relating to law firms’ liability insurances and Risk Management. From Sole Practitioner to Top 20 law firms we are sure our two organisations can provide excellent support and assistance for the challenges faced by the legal profession.

Joining BLS in 2013 and becoming President in 2018/19 has created many longstanding friendships and business relationships, whilst also unlocking doors to other opportunities in the City. BLS enabled a perfect balance of professional development and also opportunities to give back to the legal and wider community. I am pleased that my Firm has supported BLS in many capacities since 2013 and continues to do so.
