What you need to know about… Bird & Bird
Even though Bird & Bird LLP was formally established in 1846, it has gained a reputation for being tech-savvy. In 1995, it became the first law firm to create its own website. The firm has 29 offices spanning 21 countries including Australia and the Middle East. It is worth noting the firm has a strong presence in Latin America, due to the firm’s office in Madrid creating connections in culture and language. 75% of its top 100 clients have stayed with the firm for over five years, which only goes to show the firm’s level of commitment to providing high-quality service. Changes in technology and the digital world over the past decade (and during the pandemic) have allowed the IP heavyweight firm to go from strength to strength, with its latest revenues piling in at £380.1 million. Over the past decade, the firm has become well known for helping clients in technology, Intellectual Property and Life Sciences. Training wise, the firm offers up to 18 training contracts every year. To sum up, Bird & Bird LLP is inquisitive, progressive and innovative.
