Brachers, an award-winning law firm with over 200 employees and two offices, has been providing a range of legal services to businesses and individuals for over 125 years. The firm is committed to delivering a personal touch and combining legal expertise with commercial insight to support clients at every milestone.

Wellbeing is central to Brachers' culture, and it offers comprehensive support to its staff through initiatives like its menopause policy, free Employee Assistance Programme, private counselling services, and a dedicated Wellbeing Room. The firm's Wellbeing Committee has been instrumental in driving these initiatives forward, contributing to a 66% reduction in stress-related absences between 2021 and 2023.

Brachers also recognises the importance of financial wellness, providing access to a financial advisor and a hardship fund for employees in need.

The firm is dedicated to fostering a collaborative and connected culture, investing in open-plan workspaces, hosting regular business development forums, and encouraging cross-team relationship building. It also has a clear purpose, mission, vision, and set of values, which are communicated consistently to staff through various channels, including the Managing Partner’s weekly blog.

The firm’s commitment to the community is evident in its numerous initiatives, such as its partnership with local charities Time for the Homeless and Team Tutsham, and the Brachers Charitable Trust, which donated over £11,000 in the past year. Brachers also supports staff's professional development, offering financial and study support for professional qualifications and training opportunities.
