With 175 staff and partners we are large enough to provide a complete range of commercial services but small enough to provide a personal service to every client.

The founding Partners of the firm wrote down our ethos which we continue to try to live and work by:-

Our purpose is to do worthwhile work to the best of our ability for clients we respect as commercial lawyers recognising that we do so in a highly competitive environment. We will, at all times, seek to value everyone in the firm and strive to provide secure and enjoyable employment, preserving a balance between work and home.

We will encourage a diverse and open culture which fosters innovation, together with trust and loyalty amongst all within the firm and with clients. All this we undertake in the context of making a reasonable living and always with a commitment to justice and the public interest.
