EMG Solicitors ‘delighted and proud’ after B Corp boost

A law firm says it has taken “a stepping stone” to further success after marking its tenth anniversary with an accreditation boost.

EMG Solicitors has been awarded B Corp status.

The accolade highlights its commitment to high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability, and balancing profit with purpose.

It comes after EMG, which has offices in Durham, Newcastle and Darlington, was listed as one of The Times and Sunday Times UK 100 Best Places to Work 2024.

Emma Gaudern, managing director, said: “We are absolutely delighted.

“B Corp status is a real reflection of our ongoing commitment to our people, clients and local communities.

“Since founding EMG Solicitors, we have always held strong values that centre on delivering excellence in all we do.

“Looking after our people and customers in the very best way we can, supporting our local community and being environmentally conscious are the foundation stones of who we are and what we do.

“I’m so proud of our incredible people who, day in and day out, go above and beyond for clients.

“And with this year marking our tenth anniversary, these awards and accreditations reflect our team’s dedication and hard work.”

Ian Burke, head of people and culture at the firm, which has further offices in Penrith and Manchester, added: “This demonstrates our approach to supporting colleagues, communities and the environment while delivering exceptional legal services for clients.

“But while it is a great achievement, it is also just a stepping stone to build on as we continue to commit to excellence.”
