We therefore aim to provide advice that is reliable, effective and easily understood which allows you the freedom to think clearly and make informed decisions. We consider ourselves partners and trusted advisers to our clients that can guide you through the most stressful and important decisions in life.

An employee owned business

Unlike many other law firms, Bennett Oakley is owned 100% by its employees. We are the first law firm in Sussex to become employee owned, giving our employee owners a direct stake–and-say in the business, as well as an equal share of profits. Research shows that employee owned businesses are more productive and profitable and have much higher levels of employee and customer satisfaction. Read more about us here.
