Employers, LLPs and Partnerships
Get in touch today
Bellevue Law offers employers, LLPs and partnerships a compelling proposition: the same quality of commercially astute and strategic employment law expertise as the largest international firms, paired with the holistic, human-centred service of a B Corp-certified boutique legal practice.
Our partner-level team of executive employment and partnership lawyers is one of the largest in the UK, with over 250 years of collective experience gained at leading City and global law firms.
Award-winning service as standard
We pride ourselves on building long-term relationships with our clients, getting to know their cultures, priorities and people, and supporting them on both day-to-day and high-stakes employment law issues with pragmatism and humanity.
Our feedback speaks for itself. Since we started our annual client survey in 2018, clients have always rated us at over 9/10 on average when asked how likely they are to recommend us to a friend or colleague, and in November 2024 our Net Promoter Score was 94/100. In 2024, we were also pleased to be recognised as a Legal 500 Leading Firm in Client Satisfaction, placing us in the top 10% of all firms surveyed.
Working for employers, LLPs and partnerships
Our team of executive employment and partnership lawyers supports clients ranging from regulated professional services firms – including many of our fellow law firms – to privately owned challenger businesses in the tech, fintech and biotech spaces and global multinational corporations. As a certified B Corp, many of our clients are also purpose-driven organisations.
We have a track record for advising clients across the size spectrum – from international corporations to start-ups – on a wide range of employment law and partnership issues.

Outsourced in-house employment lawyers
Our model means that, in most cases, one of our senior workplace lawyers can partner with a client to handle all aspects of a matter, from providing initial advice and setting strategy to drafting documentation and handling negotiations cost-effectively and without duplication.
This approach means that we get to know our clients and their businesses well, becoming their strategic partners and able to provide pragmatic, commercial advice underpinned by profound expertise. We often see ourselves as our clients’ outsourced in-house employment lawyers.
This model has proven equally attractive to global clients who rely on us for day-to-day HR advice and the entrepreneurial clients and professional services firms whom we support through potentially critical legal issues.
For larger clients who require regular employment law support, we offer a retainer service, providing cost-effective access to a dedicated senior lawyer who is familiar with their business, culture and priorities and handles every aspect of their work.
Our services for employers and partnerships
We provide an extensive range of employment and partnership law support:
- We prepare, review and update contracts for employees, partners and contractors and perform employment law MOTs to ensure policies and procedures are up to date and reflect best practice, as well as delivering bespoke HR workshops and training so that clients are familiar, and compliant, with new legislation.
- We offer an outsourced in-house employment lawyer service, with one of our senior lawyers serving as a strategic partner to the client’s business, providing them with regular commercial and pragmatic HR advice. Where appropriate, this service is available on a retainer basis.
