Bendles LLP is a recognised body authorised by the Solicitors Regulation Authority since January 2016 and recorded under SRA number 625949. The SRA record lists 6 practising offices: the head office at Portland building, Carlisle, CA3 0JG, plus 5 further offices in Wigton, Whitehaven, Kirkby Stephen,, Appleby, and Penrith,. It also trades as Bendles Solicitors, Bleasdale & Co Solicitors, Gaynham King & Mellor Solicitors and Beaty & Co. Its constitution is recorded as limited liability partnership.

In its most recent annual return the firm told the SRA it delivered work in 11 areas of law: Employment, Personal Injury, Landlord and tenant, Children, Commercial property, Corporate (non-listed), Probate, Residential property, Litigation, Family and Non-litigation. Because residential property is among them, the SRA Transparency Rules require the firm to publish its conveyancing prices on its own website, bendlessolicitors.co.uk, where its fees page has not yet been checked by this site.
