Acting responsibly and ethically

We are committed to the highest professional standards and to conducting ourselves with openness, honesty and integrity always. Good governance underpins everything we do, supported by clear policies, effective systems and a culture that encourages accountability.

All members of staff have a role to play in meeting our ESG objectives and are encouraged to raise concerns or suggest improvements. In line with our Whistleblowing Policy, we actively encourage staff to speak up about any real or perceived departures from the ethical standards we set.

A positive and supportive working environment

Our people are our most important resource. We are committed to creating a positive, healthy and inclusive working environment where everyone is treated fairly and with respect.

We promote equality and diversity, provide access to training and development, and support rewarding careers with job satisfaction. Clear guidance on expectations, rights and development is set out within our internal policies and procedures.

Our clients and communities

We are committed to delivering a high level of professional, courteous and accessible service to all clients. We recognise the diversity of the communities we serve and, wherever possible, seek to promote equal access to our legal services.

Beyond our client work, we aim to make a positive contribution to the local communities in which we operate.

Responsible suppliers and partners

We act fairly and transparently in our dealings with suppliers and third parties. We are committed to equality and diversity in our professional relationships, entering clear and fair contracts and settling invoices promptly. Where possible, we seek to support the local economy by working with local suppliers.
