Founded in 1838, Beale & Co is a leading international law firm with over 180 years of experience providing expert legal advice to the construction, engineering, infrastructure, and insurance sectors. From its origins in Birmingham during the early Victorian era, the firm has evolved into a modern, agile practice with offices in London, Bristol, Glasgow, Dublin, Dubai, and Toronto, and more than 120 lawyers advising clients around the world.

Beale & Co is recognised for delivering technically sound, commercially practical legal solutions. Our specialist focus and deep sector understanding have driven our success over the past 25 years, responding to increasing demand with a consistently high standard of service. Whether advising on complex international arbitration, professional indemnity disputes, project advisory, or commercial and corporate matters, we combine strategic insight with legal excellence to achieve positive outcomes for our clients.

What sets us apart is our Partner-led model, ensuring hands-on involvement, quality control, and strategic supervision throughout every engagement. While our teams are collaborative and multidisciplinary, our Partners take responsibility for aligning legal solutions with the client’s goals—offering clarity, confidence, and results.

Our expertise spans a wide range of legal areas, including adjudication, claims handling, contracts and project advisory, corporate and commercial, international arbitration, procurement, regulatory matters, and insurance-specific services such as policy coverage, professional indemnity, product recall, and directors’ and officers’ liability.

We’re proud of our international outlook, having founded Lexicom, a network of independent European law firms, and most recently joining Global Insurance Law Connect in 2023—a testament to our global reach and collaborative approach.

With ISO27001 certification for data and information security, and a forward-looking leadership team including our CEO and Senior Partner, Beale & Co remains committed to innovation, integrity, and excellence.

From landmark UK infrastructure projects to global insurance claims, Beale & Co delivers specialist, Partner-led legal services trusted by clients worldwide.
