Brights is a well-known and highly regarded local firm which has been in business for more than 140 years; we are deeply embedded in the local communities and businesses throughout Essex and beyond. We are a forward looking and highly computerised business and offer remote and flexible working from any one of our four offices in Maldon, Witham, Danbury and Tiptree.
We provide a level of service comparable to larger local and regional firms. We maintain a friendly and supportive environment and many of our staff have been with us for most if not all of their working lives. Our fee earners enjoy a level of support which is better than many of our competitors and we have a defined career structure; we actively look to advance fee earners to associate and full directorship.
We offer a full range of benefits including pension contributions, free healthcare and five weeks holiday (as well as an additional four or five days holiday over the Christmas period) and a bonus structure. We also provide structured training and development for all staff and embrace remote working to suit the needs of our staff and their families and part time and flexible working hours.

Our residential team enjoys very high levels of support and a great case management and reporting system to allow the fee earners to concentrate on legal work and we are consistently busy whatever the market conditions.
