Corporate responsibility

We do good work - In more ways than one

We have a responsibility to help others


Our corporate responsibility helps us make a positive impact

While the law is what we 'do', there's much more to us than that. As people, and as a firm, we believe we have a responsibility to help those around us. This means making a positive difference in the local and wider community, supporting our people and enabling them to flourish, and minimising our environmental impact. This isn't just good business sense, it's good people sense too.

There are three elements to our corporate responsibility agenda:

  • Investing in our communities, through pro bono work, volunteering and charitable giving
  • Promoting diversity and inclusion among our people
  • Protecting the environment

And wrapping around all of these things is collaborative working – engaging with others to increase the impact we can have.
