# Russell-Cooke
Russell-Cooke is a top 100 legal firm headquartered in Richmond with approximately 250 lawyers serving commercial, not-for-profit and private clients across London, the UK and internationally. The firm has recently been recognised as Law Firm of the Year at the LexisNexis Legal Awards 2026, reflecting its sustained growth and client-focused approach.
The firm distinguishes itself through a commitment to understanding clients' priorities and tailoring solutions accordingly. Rather than defaulting to litigation, Russell-Cooke emphasises out-of-court resolution options including mediation, collaborative law and arbitration—particularly evident in their family law practice where they help clients resolve sensitive matters with dignity whilst achieving practical, lasting outcomes. This consultative approach appeals to clients seeking to avoid the expense, time and emotional toll of court proceedings.
Russell-Cooke's expertise spans diverse practice areas, evidenced by their news and insights content covering property law (commonhold and leasehold matters), business law (shareholders' agreements for garden centre operators) and employment practices. The firm also demonstrates a strong commitment to responsible business practices, publishing detailed annual reports on their environmental, social and governance initiatives.
The firm's positioning as an accessible yet substantial legal practice—neither a high-street sole practitioner nor a mega-firm—enables them to provide personalised attention whilst drawing on considerable specialist expertise. Their emphasis on access to justice and community support further distinguishes their brand identity within the legal sector.
