With our roots in Suffolk going back to 1863, Birketts is a long established and highly successful law practice.  We offer a full range of legal services, with the exception of publicly funded Legal Aid work.  With offices in Ipswich, Norwich and Cambridge, and plans afoot for further growth, we are well on our way to achieving our ambition to be the leading regional firm in the East of England.  Our core business is split across three main divisions - Corporate and Commercial, Property and Private Client services.  Within those principle areas of practice, we have established a number of industry groups covering sectors such as food and farming, logistics, the public sector, and social housing.  Total staff now number 275, 38 of whom are partners.

Currently, hovering just outside their list of the top 100 UK law firms, The Lawyer has identified us as “one to watch…..blending the attributes of City capability with regional value” while Chambers & Partners’ independent client guide to the UK legal profession 2008 describes us as “a firm that is going places”.

“Its glowing with local reputation, and I was impressed with the firm’s growth aims”, “I really get the chance to be involved in the work with a lot of client contact”, “I’m given far more responsibility than my peers and treated as an equal”.   Some of the quotes from our trainees in the latest Lex 100 where we scored 9.2 out of 10 for our high quality of work and we are proud to have been described as a Lex Winner for job satisfaction and client contact.  We are even more proud of the fact we scored the third highest in the Lex book for quality of work.

Our aim is to be the ‘Regional Firm of choice’. With the recent opening of our Cambridge office and further plans for growth we are committed to the region and to the training and development of our employees.

The key to our success is our staff; you are what set us apart from our competitors; without you we would not continue to provide the high level of service we are renowned for throughout the region.

Everyone has a part to play in the success of the firm.
