Our Values: How we think, work and act

We value everyone

Our core values unite us in the way we think, work and act. They are key to the success of our business and they influence how we interact with each other, our clients and wider society.

Think

  • We are a progressive and forward-thinking firm
  • We are confident that our diverse and idiosyncratic mix of people makes us stronger
  • We take great pride in creating an environment that’s inclusive for everyone

Work

  • We’re  a hardworking and professional bunch of people
  • We’re encouraged to find a vocational passion in our work and do more of what we love
  • We relish nurturing people’s careers, backing entrepreneurial ideas and giving people their wings

Act

  • We’re unusually friendly, down-to-earth and approachable for a law firm
  • We’re respectful and treat people with positive intent because we believe everyone in the firm is fundamentally decent
  • We thrive on sharing and being collaborative in the pursuit of better results

We take our Corporate Social Responsibility very seriously

It defines what we’re like as a firm and how people perceive us. We want to be a firm that people like to work with, and a company that people want to do business with.

Pro bono work

We encourage all staff, including trainees, to volunteer their time and skills in the community where we work. Whilst current circumstances mean that we cannot volunteer as readily in person, we are maintaining links with our various CSR partners, and are carrying out many activities online. Those include spending time at the Southwark Citizens Advice Bureau rent arrears clinic, and a sponsored “Mileathon” as part of Green Week. Whatever you choose, one thing you can be sure of: you will gain as much from this experience as you give.

We also support a charity of the year, both raising monies for them (matched by the partnership), and in raising awareness of their work. That charity is voted for by the firm.
