A boutique law firm of exceptional quality and talent where clients' and lawyers' interests are aligned by collaboration and innovation
Five departments - Employment, Property Litigation, Planning and Environment, Commercial Litigation and Health and Safety - merit praise in Legal 500, while the Employment team has earned promotion to Band Three of the Chambers and Partners' review.
Bexley Beaumont's co-founder and Chief Executive, Karen Bexley, said that the outcome should be counted as recognition for the firm's collective excellence.
"From the very first day that we opened our doors, we set a target of making continual improvement and put in place a structure and a culture which we believed would enable us all to achieve that.
"It is enormously satisfying, therefore, to see the firm and people within it receiving due credit for their contributions in helping drive us forward and deliver the high standard of client service which is our objective.
"Both Legal 500 and Chambers are rightly regarded across the legal industry as a very fair and accurate assessment of how firms are performing because they are compiled from independent analysis and feedback from clients and peers.
"To see that we have more specialisms and more individuals recognised than last year is one important external measurement of our momentum.
"There is a constant dialogue between our lawyers, clients and central support team in order to refine what we do and improve the quality of our services further.
"That provides very valuable propulsion and, together with these rankings, is a reminder of not only of how far we have come in a relatively short time but how we are capable of even more development."
The Planning and Environment team has secured a place in band three of the Legal 500 ranking, while Employment and Commercial Litigation are featured in bands four and six respectively.
Both the Health and Safety and Property Litigation teams are both included in the 'Firm To Watch' category.
Six of Bexley Beaumont's Employment lawyers are singled out for individual praise and Emma Tattersdill is one of only four Environment practitioners named as Leading Partners in the East Midlands.
The firm is the only one in the region to have the distinction of being noted for client satisfaction.
In Chambers and Partners, the capabilities of Bexley Beaumont's Employment lawyers have seen it move upwards from Band Four to Band Three in the space of a single year.
Alex Clements and Louise Carr are among those claiming places in Band Three and Band Four as individuals.
Client testimonials quoted by Chambers and Partners cite Ms Clements as "an absolute joy to work with", while Ms Carr was said to be "an outstanding advocate...top notch".
There was also considerable praise for two of Bexley Beaumont's Health and Safety team.
Gary Lewis moved up to Band Two of the Chambers' listings, identified for his "exceptional commercial awareness", while Emma Evans was named one of the rankings' 'Up and Coming' lawyers.
Publication of the rankings comes just weeks after another example of Bexley Beaumont's impact on the UK's legal industry.
It was chosen as one of 10 finalists in the Outstanding Corporate Culture category at the British Legal Awards.
The prize aims to recognise those organisations able to demonstrate the benefits of putting the "well-being, welfare and advancement" of its employees and partners at the heart of their operations.
Earlier this year, the firm was highly commended in the New Law Business of the Year category at The Lawyer Awards.
Bexley Beaumont was also named as a joint winner of the UK Business of the Year category at the International Brilliance Awards in London in January.
