Bristol

Bristol provides the perfect location for Barristers practising regionally or nationally.

The city’s only an hour and a half away from London and Birmingham by train – and has excellent road links via the M4 and M5 motorways close by.

Many leading organisations, including Lloyds TSB, Hewlett Packard, HBOS and the MoD, have a major presence in Bristol, which is also the key centre for commerce and government across the South West.

Some of the leading law firms also have either their main office or strong presence here, including Burges Salmon, Clarke Wilmott, Osborne Clarke, TLT and Lyons Davidson.

From a personal point of view Bristol has a great deal to offer, as demonstrated by its regular top ranking position in lifestyle surveys.

Its waterside location gives it a unique quality and there’s massive redevelopment taking place in the centre, which will add to an already strong mix of shops, restaurants, offices and leisure amenities.

There are also attractive housing options and good schools, along with a cosmopolitan cultural life centred on the numerous theatres, galleries and music venues around the city.
