equality & CSR

We think it’s important to be conscious of our social and environmental responsibilities.

As important as our commitment to practising law to the highest standard, we believe that we need to consider how running our business impacts on the local community, the environment and wider social communities in the purchasing chain. We also feel that it’s important to put something back by contributing our skills, knowledge and ideas into charitable projects.

Supporting our community and charities
We try to achieve this by working with charities that support local communities in which we operate. We also support other charities that our firm has a long-standing connection to. We actively encourage and support participation in a range of fundraising activities including sponsored bike-rides and quiz nights.

We support the work of:
Henshaws Society for Blind People
St.Ann’s Hospice
Helping Uganda Schools

Ethical purchasing of goods and services
We try to make informed choices about our purchase of goods and services. Where possible, we consider the ethical policies of our suppliers alongside cost factors. We also encourage an environmentally-aware attitude to the firm’s consumption of goods and services.

Equality
We support equal opportunity in the workplace. We strive to create an environment free from all forms of discrimination so that each member of staff can reach their full potential

The firm is committed to developing and implementing best practice in equality, diversity and inclusion as employers; providers of legal services; purchasers of goods and services; and in their wider roles in the community.

The firm has signed up to the Law Society Equality and Diversity Charter – the 8 standards of which are as follows:

1. Leadership and Vision
2. Employment and Staff development
3. Provision of Legal Services
4. Engagement with staff, clients and community
5. Policy making and practice development
6. Monitoring and review
7. Procurement and supplier diversity
8. Sharing good practice
