Florence Brocklesby, founder of Bellevue Law, has been featured in The Brief’s investigation into how law firms define their core values and embed them at the heart of their workplace cultures.
The article explores why values matter in a profession traditionally driven by individual performance and commercial metrics, and how firms can move beyond generic statements to create cultures that genuinely shape behaviour, decision‑making and long‑term resilience.
Florence shares her view that defining values is an iterative process, led from the top but informed over time by feedback from colleagues, clients and wider stakeholders. She emphasises the importance of clarity and focus, noting that values must be distinct and meaningful rather than an attempt to appeal to everyone.
As a practical example, Florence discusses Bellevue Law’s decision to become a B Corp, a strategic choice made by senior leadership and developed collaboratively with the team through policies, practices and ongoing engagement. The firm continues to invite feedback through surveys and key milestones to ensure its values remain relevant and lived in practice.
The feature highlights how well‑defined and consistently embedded values can help law firms build stronger cultures, reduce reliance on individual personalities and create more resilient client relationships.
