What the firm says
Delivering the services our clients need most is what drives us, and our energy and determination to provide the best possible legal advice means that we’re a forward-thinking practice open to innovative ideas and new ways of working.
How do we make this happen? Our lawyers and professionals share ambitions, common values and a flexible working style that combines with strong personal connections to deliver outstanding levels of client service across every office, every day.
Collaborating is second nature to us – and by working together we explore new ways to better serve our clients, whether that’s using technology to drive practice innovations, or investing in our people to make sure we can continue to deliver the high quality, cost-effective, and personal service that our clients rely on us for.
We always put ourselves in our clients’ shoes and ask the right questions so that we can really understand and anticipate their needs. That’s why we look for trainees who take the time to listen and who want to work for a firm where integrity and reliability matter every bit as much as insight and legal expertise.
We focus on eleven key sectors (- Charities, Education & Not-for-Profit, Energy, Financial Institutions, Healthcare, Life Sciences & Pharmaceuticals, Insurance, Manufacturing, Private Wealth, Real Estate, Retail, Hospitality & Leisure, Transport, Logistics & Infrastructure).
Our clients include Grainger, Bellway, New Look, Atom Bank, Majestic Wines, and H&M.
Responsible business is an integral part of who we are as a firm and we focus on six key areas: environment, community engagement, diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), wellbeing, social mobility and governance.
We seek out initiatives that enable us to live up to our commitment to create better places to live, work and do business and our decisions are always shaped by our desire to have a positive impact on our colleagues, clients, and the local communities around us.
Our gold sustainability rating from EcoVadis ranks us in the top three percent of participating companies and is testament to our work ensuring responsible business remains front of mind for everyone at our firm.
Whether it’s our commitment to net zero by 2030; our sustaina ble procurement policy; or our decision to give all colleagues 25 Responsible Business Hours every year, our actions are focused on the future as we strive to continuously improve for our people, the planet and our clients.
Our work in this area has been recognised by rankings in the Stonewall Top 100 and being names on the Social Mobility List 2024.
And it’s not just within the firm that we take this holistic approach – we’re just as committed to it through our work with clients. You can read more about our environmental, social and governance (ESG) strategy here.
