They do complex blue-chip work, in a nice environment without the trappings of a big law firm culture.

Work-life balance tends to be good, leaving plenty of time to enjoy what is an enviable coastal lifestyle and London is only an hour away making it easy to get that city fix when (or if) you need it.
