HOW WE GIVE BACK

Our approach to corporate social responsibility (CSR) is an important element of our business strategy and closely reflects our core values. With offices across the world, we encourage our people to apply the firm’s CSR principles in activities which are meaningful to them and appropriate within their respective jurisdictions, recognising that CSR means different things in different countries. We support our local communities in the following ways: • Our people are our greatest strength and we seek to reflect our commitment to investing in them by engaging in local community projects. Examples of this include employees volunteering at local schools and care homes, as well as clothing, food, toy and blood donation drives. • Through our respect for diversity, we aim to adopt programmes which encourage diversity at entry level into the legal profession and law firm business services roles. We provide work experience for disadvantaged young people and specifically promote opportunities at the firm with diverse/identity groups as part of the recruitment process. • We seek to share knowledge and our time generously across our teams so we encourage mentoring and pro bono activities to help others. In recent years our lawyers have worked with organisations dealing with human rights issues, freedom of the press, immigration and refugees and disability benefit claims appeals. • We are committed to reducing our carbon footprint through the adoption of sustainable practices and initiatives.
