We're Bates Wells, a City firm with a difference.

We believe in making a positive impact, whether that's achieving legislative and regulatory change around sustainability, or working on a landmark case with wide-ranging implications. We're not afraid to challenge the status quo.

As a values-driven firm we show commitment to our clients, our people, the environment and society. We're the first UK law firm with a B Corp certification.
