About us
What is it like to work with us?
Quality control is at the heart of everything we do. We appreciate that the meaning of a contract can turn on a comma, and so we pay the utmost attention to detail in checking and proofing all the content which we produce to ensure that it is error free.
Achieving the highest standards. All content – whether for a website, newsletter or social media – is written to a common style, and edited to plain English, in line with our bespoke style guide developed specifically for the legal profession.
We’ll keep you in budget. We know that marketing expenditure is discretionary, and you will be looking for an attractive return on investment.

Background to Berners Marketing
Berners Marketing was set up in 2004 by Sue Bramall, who was formerly Head of Business Development at Pinsents Solicitors and had previously spent a number of years in senior marketing positions with chartered accountants and management consultants.
Having identified a need for marketing and business development content specifically for the legal profession in a business which is built on expert knowledge, Sue set out to bridge the gap between accurate (but boring) technical content and user-friendly attractive (but sometimes flimsy) marketing materials.
An expert team
Berners Marketing is unique in employing qualified and experienced solicitors to work alongside marketing and design professionals. We have an exceptional panel of specialist legal authors comprising lawyers and barristers who provide the content for our articles, legal editors, proofreaders and marketing professionals who ensure that it is communicated in the most effective way to build your brand.
