Working for BLB

What is it like working at BLB?

We think BLB is a great place to work. Don’t just take our word for it, though. Here are some comments from current members of staff:

“I’ve never worked at a firm with such a focus on everyone’s wellbeing. I feel I really matter to them.”

“BLB has been so supportive and encouraging of my aspiration to qualify as a legal executive. I feel they have given me not just a job but a career.”

“The IT here is brilliant and the case management system is the best I’ve worked with.”

“I was nervous about starting a new job but immediately felt part of the team.”

“Perhaps I shouldn’t say this but I look forward to coming to work.”

“Shortly after joining BLB I had a major health scare. Understandably, I was very worried about my position, but they were so understanding and supportive of me and my family.”
