Emma Waddingham, Editor, Legal News Wales said:
“Wales is blessed with a legal community that is incredibly active, passionate and generous – not only with clients but in terms of the local communities they support. Blake Morgan is a prime example of this culture of determination to make Wales a more inclusive, thriving nation, and its employees are given the time and support to help make a difference to the charities, schools, community groups and initiatives that inspire them.
“I am looking forward to sharing the impactful stories from the firm and its social value missions – not only to celebrate its work but to inspire others. For example, Blake Morgan recently further supported the LEDLET Summer Scheme , offering additional exposure and practical insights to the legal profession – and helping grow networks for those who may otherwise not have connections into the sector – they also collaborated with the Legal Wales Foundation and LEDLETon the inaugural Welsh conference for the Scheme’s alumni, hosting this in their Cardiff Office.”
“It is with great pride that we partner with law firms such as Blake Morgan, as well as barristers’ chambers and legal teams here in Wales to showcase the expertise, social value commitments and opportunities they create, that benefit communities and the legal profession across our nation, and more widely.”
From its Cardiff office and additional offices in Reading, Oxford, Southampton, and London, Blake Morgan serves clients across Wales, the UK, and internationally. It takes pride in having advised central government, local authorities, and the NHS in Wales both before and after devolution, contributing to the development of modern legal Wales.
Blake Morgan’s clients range from corporates, SMEs, and not-for-profit organisations to educational institutions, developers, registered social landlords, regulatory bodies, and individuals.
