Business Operations: Our experience

What we’ve achieved

Creating inspiring spaces together

Our Property & Workplace team has responsibility for implementing transformational changes in the workplace by creating inspiring, effective, flexible workplaces that enable and support our strategy and reflect our brand. Our team ensures that our property decisions and workplace practices support the firm’s international carbon reduction objectives. We play a vital role in assisting our leadership to deliver this strategy. 

Exceeding expectations every time

Our legal administration team take pride in being regarded as trusted advisors, always ready to assist our legal teams in understanding and meeting client needs. 

Our document production, reprographic and post teams provide swift turnaround and delivery of materials which support our client work and internal initiatives. And our facilities teams ensure a safe and healthy work environment, while supporting the delivery of our firm’s environmental strategy. 

From property to planet

Our Property & Workplace teams make a significant contribution to our commitment to reducing our impact on the environment by delivering local sustainability initiatives. Our work includes capturing and inputting critical environmental data to inform the performance and delivery of our sustainability targets and ambitions and conducting annual environmental audits at all our offices. 

Our drive for more sustainable offices also means we are working with our landlords and suppliers to reduce our environmental impact, including our carbon footprint.
