A boutique law firm of exceptional quality and talent where clients' and lawyers' interests are aligned by collaboration and innovation
Bexley Beaumont has revealed that it aims to finish 2025 by spreading some community cheer in Manchester after another strong year of progress.
The firm's own charitable foundation is expanding its support for one of the city's leading children's third sector organisations as further evidence of a commitment to balance growth with good deeds.
Chief Executive Karen Bexley has described how an eight-strong team of partners and support staff will be working as volunteers with Cash for Kids in the build-up to Christmas.
She added that the firm was also encouraging staff, partners and clients to donate gifts to boost the charity's appeal.
Ms Bexley said that the decision to increase support reflected Bexley Beaumont's determination to mirror the firm's greater nationwide presence in the 12 months since it unveiled the BBFoundation.
"This is the third year that we have tried to do our bit for Cash for Kids and certainly no recent, sudden realisation that we should perhaps do something to help.
"The idea that we should give back to the communities in which our partners live and work in line with the rate at which we grow is a fundamental element of our strategy.
"Just as with our broader approach to business, we enjoy a full, frank and regular dialogue with our colleagues about which initiatives we should support.
"In the year since the Foundation commenced operations, our collective insight about how best we might help has definitely evolved.
"Cash for Kids fulfils a very vital role in the Greater Manchester area during this time of year and more than trying to help them with donations of gifts and cash, colleagues wanted to offer practical, hands-on support.
"Although our charitable work is by no means limited to the festive season, this time of year is one in which some families find themselves in particular need and, therefore, we all believe it's important for us to step up."
The BBFoundation was set up in 2024 as a means of co-ordinating Bexley Beaumont's charitable activity and benefits from a proportion of the firm's profits.
In the five years since Bexley Beaumont first opened its doors, its central support team and lawyers have already undertaken a wide of range of fundraising ventures, including walking, riding and cycling a total of more than 2,000 kilometres across the UK on behalf of the mental health charity, MIND.
Ms Bexley outlined how the Foundation and the greater structuring of charity support had been one of a series of "cornerstone ventures".
She explained that this year's Christmas campaign would see Bexley Beaumont lawyers and staff become "Santa's Legal Helpers".
Whilst Cash For Kids intends to provide underprivileged children with presents in general, the BB Foundation is supporting older children and teenagers in particular.
Bexley Beaumont's efforts on the charity's behalf follow a year in which the firm has confirmed its place among the domestic legal profession's elite and seen its number of partners at Bexley Beaumont increase to 72 out of an overall staff roll of 120.
Having topped an influential ranking of growth by firms outside the country's top 50 legal brands compiled for the second successive year, it was singled out for praise by PwC.
The consultancy concluded that Bexley Beaumont's success was down to its having put in place "a clear plan for its direction of travel".
It was named as a finalist in the Outstanding Corporate Culture category at the British Legal Awards and highly commended in the New Law Business of the Year category at The Lawyer Awards.
Furthermore, 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.
It has also earned glowing reviews in two of the UK's most prestigious rankings, Legal 500 and Chambers and Partners.
