Alongside this, our commitment to our people and creating an inclusive, collaborative and innovative workplace is reflected in our accreditation as an ‘outstanding’ place to work by Best Companies, with Brachers named as a Best Companies ‘Top 10 law firm to work for’ in 2024. Being part of Lawfront will enable us to solidify this position as a regional leader, while maintaining our independence and personal relationships with our clients.

Joanna Worby, Brachers Managing Partner, commented:

“We are an ambitious law firm with aspirational plans for the future, and our partnership with Lawfront is a great opportunity to accelerate growth and create enhanced opportunities for our staff and clients. Our reputation for high-quality services, our long-standing commitment to our clients and communities, and the strength of our culture is a great foundation for continued success. Being part of Lawfront, who focus heavily on client care, investment and growth, aligns perfectly with our ambition and values. Moreover, having the benefits of being part of a bigger group while retaining our brand and culture are a unique characteristic of Lawfront that made joining an attractive option to us. This is an exciting time for Brachers and we look forward to enhancing our offering to our clients and our staff, and increasing our impact in the South East.”

Neil Lloyd, Lawfront CEO, said:

“I am delighted to partner with Brachers, a firm with such a strong reputation in its region, and I look forward to working with Joanna Worby and her team to accelerate the growth of their firm; growth that we have seen with all other group firms under our ownership.  Our approach to the general legal services market is unique: backing firms’ management teams, preserving their client facing brands, enhancing the prospects of their people and bringing to bear our considerable experience in marketing, IT, finance, people and compliance.  Our proposition is increasingly attractive to firms considering what’s next, as it addresses the major concerns of succession, legacy and the scale of investment required to remain competitive. Others may be considering entering the market but as first mover, we have scale and momentum that will be hard to match.”
