About Birketts LLP
Birketts is a full service, UK Top 50 law firm. With a heritage spanning 160 years, we have more than 700 lawyers and legal professionals based in Bristol, Cambridge, Chelmsford, Ipswich, London, Norwich, and Sevenoaks. We advise businesses, government and public sector organisations and individuals in the UK and internationally across four principal practice groups: real estate, corporate services, dispute resolution and private client.
Next level law
Our innovative delivery of the law is defined by our next level law proposition. Our legal advice is informed by a clear understanding of the specific needs of the sector and the regulatory and political backdrop. We work with our clients as a proactive partner, horizon scanning and thinking ahead to the changes, challenges or opportunities that they may face.
Our culture
We always look for individuals, those who bring their own personalities, different views and varied backgrounds but what unites us all is belief in our core values:
- Show you care
- Take pride in all you do
- Do the right thing
- Be enterprising
With our ambition to succeed, comes a strong desire to make a positive contribution to the communities we serve, and we are committed to delivering the objectives set out in our Responsible Business strategy. With a four-pillar strategic framework – Environmental, Social, Governance and CSR – our Responsible Business strategy is not just about doing better; it’s about leading with purpose, creating lasting value, and shaping a more sustainable future for all.
We have a plethora of employee-led networks which run across the firm, including Embrace Network, Social Mobility Network, LGBTQ+ Network and Parental Network. All of which feed directly into the social pillar of the strategic framework.
Diversity plays an integral part in all that we do, and female partners comprise 42% of our partnership.
We were nominated for ‘Best law firm for work/life balance’ at the Legal Cheek Awards in 2025 and are pleased to have maintained our A* rating with Legal Cheek for 2025/2026. We were also in the UK Top 50 Inspiring Workplaces 2024, which recognise and celebrate organisations that have created a positive and inspiring work culture for their colleagues, where they feel like they belong, resulting in increased engagement, productivity, and overall success.
