Our People

We truly value diversity in our workplace.  We recruit and develop our people based on merits only. We offer flexible working patterns and holidays.  Looking after our people’s needs and wellbeing both work related and personal is always paramount.

Our Community

We have always endeavoured to get involved in social and commercial activities in the community. We understand the importance of education and training the new generation and actively provide work experience opportunities to local school students to expose them to the legal profession. We make every effort to engage with local communities and businesses, attending local business events and encouraging referrals within the community.  We have hosted and sponsored several local events, encouraging local attendance.

Our Environment

The firm is committed to reducing its carbon footprint where at all possible. As a cloud-based firm we encourage our lawyers to work from home and cut down unnecessary commuting and pollution. We further encourage the electronic filing of documents and operating a paperless environment wherever possible.

Pro bono advice

We recognise that sometimes access to justice is difficult and may clients cannot afford legal costs.  We offer free advice and take cases pro bono at our discretion.

Charitable Work

At Berlad Graham we donate each year to charities of our choice and have a donation scheme with gift aid.  We participate in charitable events aimed at raising funds and encourage our consultants in participating in similar activities locally.

As a solicitors firm, our clients may be targeted by fraudsters who send emails in which they mispresent themselves as being members or lawyers of Berlad Graham LLP. We set out a guide below to ensure you are aware of what to look out for when receiving emails and what steps to take if you are concerned.

What is a scam email?

Criminals often use scam emails purporting to be from law firms and solicitors. The purpose of the scam email is to trick you into giving them your money or personal details such as your bank account number and login details.

What to look out for?

The scam email may look like it is a genuine email from Berlad Graham LLP and it is important to be vigilant:

1. Check the email address of the sender to ensure it is exactly the same as the email addresses on our website. Fraudsters may create email accounts which are similar to ours but with a slight spelling variation.
2. Compare the name in the ‘from’ line to the email address of the sender. If the name is completely different, it is not from Berlad Graham LLP.
3. Compare the email address of the sender and the signature – it should be from the same person.
4. We will never send emails from any Google or Hotmail accounts.
5. Look out for any spelling mistakes. Fraudulent emails are often poorly written but please note that some may appear professional.
6. We will never ask you to pay any money by clicking on a link – please be very careful of any email which requires you to click on a link as it may contain a virus or malware.
7. We will never inform you of a change of our bank details by email or provide our account details . Please refer to our client care letter for our bank account details or call the firm on the number provided on our website.

Reporting and what to do if you receive a scam email?

If you receive a fraudulent email or are unsure as to whether it is legitimate, please do not respond to the email or click on any links within it. Please bring the email to our urgent attention by calling us on 0330 175 5655

You should also ensure that your anti-virus software is up to date to prevent your personal information from being stolen.
