As one of the leading global law firms, we undertake the most important and challenging assignments for the world's leading companies, financial institutions and governments, helping them to achieve their objectives by solving their most complex and important legal issues.
We therefore have an impact as:
- an adviser: through the direct and indirect effect that our legal advice has on our clients, other organisations who contract with those clients, their clients or customers and employees, wider society and government;
- an employer: through the employment of our people, the way we look after them and our approach to recruitment; and
- an enterprise: on the environment and local communities, both directly and indirectly through our suppliers.
An adviser
The Clients and Markets pages of our Corporate Responsibility report address how we manage our client relationships and the wider contribution that our lawyers make in the marketplace.
An employer
As a large employer working in a demanding industry, we need to be mindful of the wellbeing of our people. The People pages of our Corporate Responsibility report address how we support them in balancing client demands with other commitments, how we manage their professional development and how we ensure that they receive constructive and open feedback.
An enterprise
As an enterprise with 27 offices around the world, we have an impact on the environment, on communities close to our offices and through our purchasing. The Community and Environment pages of our Corporate Responsibility report cover how we operate responsibly to reduce our environmental impact and how we target our support for our local communities to maximise its impact. Our supplier policy is covered on the Infrastructure, sourcing and suppliers page.
