International law firm specializing in technology, IP, and regulatory advisory
Bird & Bird is a 1,600+ lawyer partnership across 34 offices serving organizations navigating digital transformation and regulatory complexity. The firm's tech stack is enterprise-standard (Microsoft Office, SQL, ServiceNow, SAP SuccessFactors) with no visible cutting-edge adoption or replacement activity—typical for a partnership of this scale. Hiring is accelerating across legal roles (62 openings), with a mix of interns and mid-level staff suggesting both practice expansion and institutional capacity-building to handle growing demand in climate finance, cross-border M&A, trademark management, and multinational compliance.
Bird & Bird advises multinational organizations on technology law, intellectual property, corporate transactions, and regulatory compliance. The firm operates across Europe, North America, the Middle East, Asia Pacific, and Africa, with particular depth in aviation, life sciences, energy, media, and sports sectors. Current workstreams include climate transition infrastructure financing, cross-border takeover advisory, trademark portfolio management for large multinationals, and employment litigation. Internal pain points include managing complex vendor relationships, handling tight regulatory-driven timelines, and scaling systems to support rapid practice growth and expansion into new geographies.
