Bates Wells

There’s nothing wrong with standing out. At Bates Wells, we’re not the average law firm.

We believe that actions speak louder than words and we strive to do the right thing as a business to help our clients make a positive impact on people and on the planet.

Bates Wells was the first UK law firm to certify as a B Corp, which means that we champion better business and consider the impact of our decisions on our people, clients, suppliers, community, and the environment. We believe that the “classic” economic model – with businesses focusing solely on maximising profit while doing some good deeds on the side – isn’t sustainable. Corporate Social Responsibility is a start, but it’s only a start. Instead, we’re part of the movement that puts profits and purpose on equal footing.
