Working at Blandy & Blandy

“Having recently joined Blandy & Blandy, I am happy to confirm that choosing to work for the firm was absolutely the right decision for me and my legal career. I thoroughly enjoy working at this friendly firm and I feel that the partners make every effort to challenge me whilst ensuring that I am properly supported. From day one I have been made to feel welcome and part of a team. All the partners are extremely approachable and they do not hesitate to offer assistance and encouragement.”

“I joined the firm as a newly qualified solicitor and I have been encouraged to develop and progress my career at the firm with the ongoing support of the partners and the wider firm. The firm upholds its values of excellence and integrity in the work they do and the advice they give to clients.”

“I was initially attracted to Blandy & Blandy because of its longstanding history and the firm’s clear pride in its heritage and in its identity. It has a well-established reputation, is well known and well respected, and I wanted to be part of a firm that demonstrated such a clear sense of confidence, self and direction. The firm has a broad range of disciplines, an excellent reputation and a good client base, which offers the promise of a fulfilling, meaningful and challenging career. Since joining I have been struck by the culture, which is consistently warm, friendly, conscientious; towards colleagues, towards clients and towards its broader network of professionals and the community in which the firm is based as a whole.”

“Blandy & Blandy is an extremely warm and welcoming place to work. Whilst everyone is dedicated to their specialist area and delivering first-rate client service, they are never too busy for a friendly chat or to help out with a query. I look forward to continuing to work with colleagues as we build relationships going forward.”

“I was attracted to the firm because of its excellent reputation in the Thames Valley, by the firm's people and the culture.”

“I was looking for somewhere that felt like home - where everyone is valued for their contribution, and we are all doing our very best for our clients and each other. I found that place here at Blandy & Blandy. Even joining during the hardest of times with lockdowns and home-working, I have quickly become part of a team where partners genuinely make time for you and your voice is heard. I am very fortunate to work with excellent people.”

“I wanted to join Blandy & Blandy due to its history and longstanding reputation. I trained at the firm before joining the Wills, Probate, Tax and Trusts team on qualification.”

“The first thing that attracted me to the firm was its reputation, not just in my chosen practice area but firm wide. I enjoy working here as I feel part of a team within my department rather than an individual fee earner, everyone works hard but there is still a relaxed environment. I’d encourage people to join as supervisors and department managers are genuinely supportive of career progression and encourage personal development.”

“I was attracted to the breadth of expertise that the firm has to offer, which would provide me with a well-rounded and high quality training experience. As a trainee, I have had hands-on experience in a variety of departments, undertaking a growing level of responsibility whilst under the supervision of very supportive colleagues. As I reach the final stages of my training contract, I can look back on a very rewarding period of training with Blandy & Blandy and I feel fully prepared for the next stage of my career as a solicitor.”

“I was attracted to Blandy & Blandy because of its fine heritage and exciting future. The firm simply refuses to rest on its fine credentials and is constantly looking to innovate and develop.”

“I trained at Blandy’s so have been here for all of my legal life! I consider myself lucky to come to work here every day with talented, likeable, people.”

“I trained at Blandy’s and spent the first seven years of my career with the firm. After taking some time at home with my family, and practicing elsewhere, the opportunity arose in 2017 to re-join the Wills, Probate, Tax and Trusts Team and it was an easy decision to make. The firm has a welcoming and supportive culture, my colleagues are lovely and the work is varied and challenging. I couldn’t imagine working anywhere else.”

“Blandy & Blandy encourages development and career progression. I joined in 2013 as a legal secretary and became a legal assistant in 2015. I have completed the academic stage of qualification as a Chartered Legal Executive and am due to qualify as a Fellow in 2019. The firm has been incredibly supportive throughout. ”

“It is rare to work somewhere where colleagues embrace and embody the firm's values in the way that they do at Blandy & Blandy. I think that we have a very welcoming and supportive culture and that the firm is a challenging and rewarding one to be a part of.”

“Working at Blandy & Blandy is a brilliant opportunity that gives you the chance to work alongside experts in their field, who are friendly, approachable and care about your career development as an employee and your wellbeing as an individual.”

“I applied for a training contract at Blandy & Blandy as it is a top tier law firm. Blandy & Blandy also has a wide range of specialties so is able to provide well-rounded and varied training. With every new training seat it’s a privilege to work in a new and incredible team.”

“I was really keen to join Blandy & Blandy, mainly due to the excellent reputation of the firm as one of the best in Reading and the surrounding region. More particularly, the team has won lots of awards and is recognised year after year in the legal directories, both collectively and in terms of featuring excellent individuals. It is also important to me to be part of a team that continues to receive positive reviews and glowing recommendations from clients and others.”

“Blandy & Blandy is an incredibly supportive place. The firm values developing and encouraging colleagues to further their legal careers whilst still having regard to the need for a work-life balance.”

“The department stands out as being a proper team, in structure, practice and culture. Other places I’ve been say they are but really are a collection of individuals, which is nothing like the same thing.”
