Encouraging diversity and promoting collaboration
Represented by people of nearly 30 different nationalities, we have an inclusive culture that values diversity.
Focused on career development
Whilst we hire laterals when the need exists, we are equally passionate about the development and promotion of home-grown talent, as illustrated by the substantial number of internal promotions of lawyers to our partnership in the last three years.
