Bellevue Law is a new kind of law firm

We are a boutique law firm specialising in employment law, legal disputes, investigations, regulatory and compliance work and private client work, and offering the quality and expertise of a City firm, cost-effectively. Our clients benefit from the support of outstanding lawyers with large-firm standards and work ethic at the right price.

“They stand out in a crowded field. Their advice is always clear and accessible, often providing employers with the tactful support they need to overcome difficult disputes in Courts and Tribunals.” – Legal 500 2024

“The team are really approachable, empathetic and understanding. They are experts in their field and you feel safe and reassured when they handle a dispute for you.” – Legal 500 2023

We don’t believe in compromising on quality of advice or service. To deliver our work to the standards our clients expect, we have removed unnecessary bureaucracy and overheads. We support our lawyers with great infrastructure and completely agile and flexible working so that they enjoy both their lives and their work, and were the first UK law firm to be accredited under the Good Business Charter, which recognises ethical, responsible and sustainable business practices.

The result is a unique, exciting work model and a friendly culture that allows us to attract really exceptional talent yet keep the costs down for our clients. It’s also made Bellevue Law an extremely happy place to work for our small team, which clients notice when they deal with us.

“A small practice that gives a very personal service, very quick response times. Team is very competent, understanding and very good explaining the strategy, pro and cons and finding the best path forward.” – Legal 500 2022

How We Work

The Keys to our Success

A focus on where we add value for clients

Our commercial litigators, and investigation and regulatory and compliance teams teams are ex-City lawyers who are trusted to work on complex and timely matters for clients ranging from major corporations to entrepreneurs and private clients. City and international firms regularly trust Bellevue Law with their clients’ disputes as a safe, affordable pair of hands.

Our Chambers & Partners and Legal 500 ranked employment team works mostly for owner-managed businesses and senior employees, providing clients with the benefit of decades of big-firm experience and an empathetic approach – all for an affordable fee.

Our private client practice is trusted to advise clients expertly and sympathetically on wills, estate planning and powers of attorney.

Fully agile working

We support our lawyers in balancing their work and life commitments. They don’t have billing targets and our IT systems enable them to work from anywhere, whether that is home, our Wandsworth office or a network of serviced offices across London, when travelling in the UK or abroad or on-site for a client.

Ethical Business Practices

We are committed to good business practice, and were the first law firm to be accredited under the Good Business Charter. This requires compliance with ten key areas, including fair pay and working conditions, responsible relationships with clients and suppliers, fair and transparent tax practices, environmental sustainability and ethical sourcing.

Empowered experts

Our model means that we punch well above our weight in terms of the lawyers we attract. Bellevue Law isn’t a City firm, and we don’t aspire to be one, but we appeal to professionals with the same level of expertise and high standards. We won’t ever compromise on the quality of the people that we hire, or the quality of the systems that we use; but our smaller scale means that we gain efficiencies by cutting out overhead and not duplicating efforts in delegating to others.

Clients appreciate this as we offer them outstanding lawyers with large-firm standards and work ethics, personal attention and cost-effective service. We also get an impressive amount of work referred in from leading law firms because they know that for some matters we sit at the right price and quality point for their clients.
