East Midlands Chamber has formed a strategic partnership with Leicester-based law firm Howes Percival, opening a wider channel for the firm to support policy discussions and engage with more than 4,000 member businesses. The move positions the firm to share legal and commercial insight across Chamber activity while contributing to broader regional business conversations.
The partnership follows a strong run of national and regional recognition for the firm. Best Companies named Howes Percival the UK’s top law firm to work for in 2025 and the leading organisation to work for in the East Midlands. It also retained its 3-star World Class accreditation for workplace engagement.
The firm’s success within the Chamber network has been consistent, including Business of the Year at the 2024 East Midlands Chamber Leicestershire Business Awards and People and Work Business of the Year at the 2025 British Chambers of Commerce Awards.
East Midlands Chamber Chief Executive Scott Knowles said: “With recent recognition from Best Companies, named Business of the Year at the Chamber’s Leicestershire Business Awards in 2024 and going on to receive People and Work Business of the Year at the British Chambers of Commerce Awards this year, Howes Percival is a firm the county can be proud of. Firmly established in Leicester and having grown at impressive pace over nearly three decades, I’m delighted Howes Percival is to be a strategic partner of the Chamber. I look forward to close collaboration with them.”
