Since Ignition was formed in 2015, the positive principles behind ESG and DEI have been core to how we do business.
B Corp Law Firm
Our B Corp Commitment
“Becoming a B Corp law firm signifies our dedication to continuous improvement and holding ourselves to the highest standards. We’ve seen firsthand how clients value working with firms that align with their own ethical priorities, and our accreditation strengthens those connections.”
Alex McPherson, Founder of Ignition Law
Why B Corp matters
In today’s world, businesses are expected to prioritise more than just profits. Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles are no longer optional, they’re essential. B Corp certification embodies this shift, setting a benchmark for companies committed to being a force for good.
For Ignition Law, achieving B Corp status is far more than a badge of honour. It’s a reflection of who we are and what we stand for. As one of the few accredited B Corp law firms in the UK, we are proud to join a global movement of businesses meeting the highest standards of accountability, transparency, and social responsibility. Our certification underscores our promise to create positive, sustainable change for our clients, our communities, and our planet.
What it means to be a B Corp law firm
B Corp certification, awarded by B Lab, is an exacting and comprehensive process that measures performance across key areas, including governance, employee wellbeing, community impact, and environmental sustainability. For law firms, achieving this certification is particularly noteworthy – less than 1% of UK firms have earned it. By becoming a certified B Corp, Ignition Law is accountable not just to shareholders but to all stakeholders: our employees, clients, suppliers, and the wider community. This accreditation reflects our belief that success is about more than financial results, it’s about making a tangible, positive impact.

Ignition Law’s B Corp Journey
From the start of our business in 2015, our values have been at the core of everything we do at Ignition Law. Our unwavering commitment to ethics, integrity, and innovation is what has driven our success and growth as a leading law firm for SMEs and growth-oriented businesses.
Achieving a B Corp Certification was a natural next step to help us demonstrate our commitment to these values now and in the future.
In 2024, we undertook the B Corp’s rigorous impact assessment, evaluating our social and environmental impact across various areas, including our governance, team, clients, environment and community.
In mid-2024, we were proud to announce that Ignition Law formally became a certified B Corp law firm. We aim to include these values in all of our decision-making processes, to make our company a force for good.
We have established an action plan for 2025 to build on the five areas assessed by B Corp and aim to collaborate with clients and partners who are also looking to create positive change.

What People Say
Working with Ignition Law feels like having a trusted team member for all things legal. We won’t be able to move as fast as we do without Ignition. It’s the truth.
As an early stage company, the understanding of our needs and the support provided by Ignition has been invaluable
I engaged Ignition Law to help prepare a cookie policy, privacy policy and terms of use for my website. Julia was very responsive and gave very practical advice. I very much liked that the policies and terms weren’t too ‘legalese’, but seemed comprehensive.
Ignition Law has been the perfect partner for our business from start up through to growth into an SME. They have provided support with shareholding, employment and client commercial contracts as and when required. Highly recommend for Fintech start-ups.
We found the team at Ignition incredibly commercial, business friendly and responsive. Having worked with Ignition for both our pre-seed and seed rounds we were impressed by how they scaled up to meet the challenge, and were able to advise us across a range of areas.
A truly exceptional non traditional law firm which has the best of all worlds: top quality leadership and management; superb practitioners; an attitude that anything can be achieved; encouraging development of its people; strong client relationships; and world class response and focus. In addition, the work is always of the highest quality. I cannot recommend Ignition enough.
Friendly, helpful, understanding innovation.
The Ignition Law team is more passionate and dedicated than any firm we have ever worked with. During our funding round, Jake quickly got to grips with our needs from a legal perspective, but also clearly understood the broader commercial challenges we faced as a start-up. He’s incredibly well organised, always responsive, incredibly focused and above all, a real pleasure to work with! As a result, he has now become a core part of our team.
Ignition Law is incredibly people-orientated and all of the team members I have met are wonderful.
Dr Logic recently entered a period of rapid growth and expansion resulting in us needing to develop a new Group Structure. As such, I was looking for a legal practice who could understand the business and walk me through the legal process as well as providing sound commercial advice. I was introduced to Ignition Law by one of Dr Logic's clients and I was impressed with their joined up thinking and quick response, they always came back really quickly whenever I had a question. The legal documentation that we've ended up with is perfect and just what we wanted - and they were very fairly priced.
