The Legal 500

“Our commitment to the B Corp movement has only strengthened as we continue to engage with the industry-leading knowledge of our colleagues in the global B Corp network. Their support has been instrumental in shaping the evolution of our sustainability strategy and, in turn, helped us to act more effectively as a flagbearer for the legal sector to incorporate people and the planet as measures of success.”

Robert White, CEO, Brabners

“Acting on some of the UK’s most high-profile casework propelled Brabners, a firm anchored in the north but with national reach, to post its sixth consecutive year of growth [in 2023], with revenue up by more than 50 per cent since 2017.”

“It’s  not just the size of the business, it’s what you do with it. That is what led our judges to select this year’s legal award winner. A firm that is purpose-led, true to its roots and putting its business where its values are.”
