Responsible business

We’re committed to building an inclusive, sustainable workplace


Being a responsible business is an important part of how we work. 

We use our skills and resources to make a positive difference for our clients, our people and the wider community. This includes fostering an inclusive and sustainable workplace, supporting local communities and taking practical steps to cut waste. From volunteering and pro bono work to mentoring and fundraising, responsibility is part of our everyday approach.


Where we focus

Community and charities
Fundraising, volunteering and partnerships that strengthen communities.
Inclusion
Creating a culture where everyone can thrive, with clear aims, active networks and mentoring.
Pro bono
Providing legal expertise to those without access to advice and representation.
Sustainability
Reducing our environmental impact and embedding sustainable practices across our business.

We know we have a role to play beyond the work we do for clients. Whether it’s helping someone access legal advice, mentoring a young person or raising funds for a local charity, we’re proud to give back .
