Russell-Cooke wins Outstanding Corporate Culture Award at the British Legal Awards
Russell-Cooke has been named the winner of the Outstanding Corporate Culture award at the 2025 British Legal Awards, recognising the firm’s long-standing commitment to championing the wellbeing, advancement, and diversity of its people and wider communities.
This recognition, awarded to Russell-Cooke for its “breadth of initiatives and tangible results”, honours organisations that have meaningfully transformed their culture through initiatives that support wellbeing, inclusion, and social mobility. Russell-Cooke’s recognised achievements span increased representation at senior levels, inclusive recruitment practices that have significantly boosted social mobility, a strengthened wellbeing infrastructure, a long-standing commitment to legal aid and community partnerships, and ambitious environmental and sustainability initiatives. The firm’s strong internal engagement, robust trainee retention rates, and industry-leading feedback on work-life balance further reflect a culture where people thrive.
This award matters deeply to us because it recognises something that sits at the heart of who we are. Culture isn’t an initiative or a slogan at Russell-Cooke, but the bedrock of how we support our people, serve our clients, and contribute to our communities. Winning the Outstanding Corporate Culture award affirms that the commitments we’ve made over many years are making a meaningful, measurable difference. It underscores Russell-Cooke’s belief that purpose and performance are mutually reinforcing, and that a people-first approach is essential to building a modern, resilient, and responsible law firm. We’re incredibly proud of what our people have built together.
This latest award builds on a strong year of recognition for Russell-Cooke, coming on the heels of being named The Lawyer’s Law Firm of the Year: The Independents – where the firm was celebrated for its client-first approach, and commitment to the delivery of legal aid and doing business responsibly - and receiving Highly Commended Firm of the Year from Legal Business.
