Role Description: Corporate Associate (full-time)
About the Firm
Birdi Group derives from the brainchild and passion-project of Kush and Leena Birdi – two lawyers who wanted to create a firm where they could do the work they loved, but in an environment that inspired them (as well as others).
The two share a philosophy – a philosophy they call “Infectious Enthusiasm”. They believe that high-quality work is a given, but it’s the attitude you adopt in work (and life) that matters most. It’s what delivers real value and helps to cultivate long‑lasting client relationships. It’s the more human element of the lawyer / client dynamic that they felt too often got lost, but is the thing that leaves the longest impression once a project is closed.
At Birdi Group, there is a real desire to ensure that every client who walks through the door is met with positivity, passion and energy. That the client feels a genuine curiosity and empathy for their vision – and that with the right mindset, together we can make amazing things happen.
“Infectious Enthusiasm” is the beating heart of Birdi Group and is what has helped the firm develop a reputation, not just for excellent technical work, but for being a genuinely enjoyable firm to work with.
It’s what has become known as The Birdi Way.
