British Broadcasting Agency (BBC)

Interesting selling points

  • As the world's leading public service broadcaster, working at the BBC can provide ample opportunities to work on a number of exciting, high profile matters (TV shows, radio, live sporting events, and so on).
  • Such a breadth of products and services that employees will likely have exposure to a uniquely broad range of work, and many facets of the media industry. This is supported by trainees rotating between a number of different London locations and teams (e.g. commercial and technological law, intellectual property, data protection, employment, competition and litigation).
  • Opportunity to work at the heart of the organisation, and get involved across all phrases of programme lifecycles. This can give you the chance to really see the product of your work materialise.
  • Committed to being a culturally diverse workforce and recruiting candidates from underrepresented backgrounds.
  • Potential opportunities to have a secondment in private practice with a leading firm.
  • Great opportunities for professional development, with support from a highly experienced legal team, as well as other colleagues across the business. 
  • Opportunities to work alongside and learn from a broad range of non-legal teams, including employees from commercial, creative and marketing teams. This might provide opportunities to give more commercial (i.e. business-centric) advice alongside legal advice, which might help you to become a more well-rounded professional adviser.
