Social impact report 2024

We’ve harnessed the passion and skills of our people to deliver our purpose over the last 12 months, with 94% of our work directly improving the lives of individuals, communities and society.

And this isn’t something new.

Over the last 50 years, our firm has evolved into a wider and more inclusive endeavour, but the service-first ethos and core purpose have remained true and run through the business and our people. As the first law firm in the Midlands to achieve the prestigious B Corp accreditation (December 2022), our work in continuously striving to be a better business is apparent in everything we do.

Our ambition is to become a key adviser, informing national social policy and being indispensable to clients, whether we are delivering services to them as private individuals or where organisations are delivering services across the UK.

We want to become a magnet for people who are committed to improving society through their work, as well as forging ahead with our equality, diversity and inclusion (ED&I) and sustainability agendas to strengthen our diverse workforce.

Our social impact report allows us to reflect on the past year, celebrate our successes and gives us a benchmark from which we continue to strive to be a better business.
