We’re delighted to share that Florence Brocklesby, founder of Bellevue Law, has been featured in two recent Law Gazette articles exploring critical shifts in the legal profession.
In “Talent drain: women leaving practice”, Florence offers insight into the discrimination issues faced by women lawyers particularly around maternity return, working hours, chargeable-hour targets and work allocation. She highlights how caring responsibilities, particularly for older women, can trigger similar structural challenges. Her experience advising on these issues brings essential nuance to a topic impacting women at every stage of their legal careers.
In “Consultant model firms: Breaking free”, Florence’s own experiences founding Bellevue Law form part of a wider examination of the rise of consultant-model firms. Florence describes how flexibility beyond simply hybrid working allows senior lawyers to design sustainable careers without sacrificing complex, high‑quality work. She also reflects on Bellevue Law’s culture, its B Corp values and how consultant lawyers can both maintain autonomy and achieve strong earnings.
These articles shine a spotlight on Florence’s leadership in championing flexible, people-centred legal careers both through her work with individuals navigating discrimination issues and through Bellevue Law’s innovative approach to consultancy.
