Karen Bexley and Anna Beaumont, co-founders of Bexley Beaumont sit down with Legl's team to share the story of the firm's growth journey. With deep experience in the fee-share space, the co-founders wanted to build something entirely new. A firm that combined the financial model of a fee-share firm, and the more collegiate environment and great infrastructure of a more traditional law firm. The result is a firm where staff benefit from autonomy, high earning potential, freedom from lockstep partnership tracks, as well as an inclusive and supportive culture, shared values and a focus on consistent quality. The legal press have called it "a hybrid - the best of both."
Recognised as Law Firm of the Year at the Modern Law Awards, and the fastest-growing platform firm in the UK by PwC and Codex Edge for two years running, the co-founders have a unique model that is mission and vision-driven. The Top 200 is their target but the co-founders believe in sustainable growth, staying true to their founding principles and values, and the importance of focusing on the right metrics, like partner retention rate (which stands at over 95% today), instead of simply reporting on the growth of partner numbers.
