Our Story

We are Rubric Law – a testament to dreams nurtured and hard work. Founded in a bedroom in Bristol in 2012 by James Howell, a knowledgeable solicitor with almost 20 years of experience, Rubric has blossomed into a leading corporate law firm.

In the beginning, our expertise was seen predominantly in the healthcare industry. It’s been quite a journey, one that has led us to act on behalf of one of the globe’s largest veterinary practices.

We now work on behalf of businesses from all industries, with a focus on dentistry, technology, ecommerce and healthcare. Our dedicated team of corporate solicitors has been instrumental in this growth.

As an ambitious visionary, James’s dream was not just about creating another law firm; but about reimagining the very essence of what a law firm could be.

With Rubric, James aimed to transform the often-stiff perception of solicitors, creating a practice that is modern, personable, and approachable, one that values every individual’s unique journey. It’s a vision that we’re not just proud of, but one that has become our identity.

This ethos extends to our internal working culture, characterised by encouragement and growth. James has proudly mentored and trained five legal minds, guiding them to their qualifications as solicitors.

Today, we offer an array of advice for legal matters, from business acquisitions, mergers, and sales to all aspects of employment and commercial property law.

Rubric is more than just a law firm; we’re a team, a family, united by our mission to offer friendly, expert legal guidance to businesses with a modern, approachable touch.

James and Shea were fully supportive throughout the transaction and looked after me every step of the way - I couldn't have done this without them!

I have no words to describe how happy I am to have Asif Moghal help me finish a business transaction. He put a lot of effort into making the purchase process simple for me. Rubric Law team have my highest recommendation, and I'll be using the team for all of my next businesses.

I have had the pleasure of working with MS Rubric for over ten years and they have always delivered exceptional service. I am a business broker, and have used them for most of my business sales. I have always been amazed at the depth of their knowledge and their professionalism. They have been able to help with some extremely complicated sales. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
