We all work hard, that’s a given. But key to our performance is an environment that not only keeps us focused, but allows us to work in the most pleasant and inspirational surroundings possible. There are people here at the very top of their game, and we do everything we can to provide the personal and professional support they need. Much of that’s down to the tremendous amenities in our London offices, together with the wide range of business facilities. But it’s also down to a healthy spirit of teamwork which flows throughout the office.
For instance, at one time or another, we’ll all owe a lot to our dedicated 24-hour-a-day, 365-days-a-year print room and document production centre, peopled by over 20 print specialists. There is a central helpdesk team 24/7 to handle everything from travel bookings to conference facilities. Knowledge specialists and library teams can find data to support you on research projects. And colleagues in HR, marketing, finance, strategy and IT – as well as talented professional support lawyers – will all, in one way or another, help you achieve more. What’s more, we have 13 Information Units - each supporting a different practice area - which provide all the journals, books, directories, cases and statutes, encyclopaedias, citators, magazines and know-how you need. There are also online portals and guidance on how to research for information should you need it.
Aside from day-to-day support, we make a point of focusing on your long-term career development. Our work allocation system ensures that your valuable time is spent wisely across a wide spectrum of deals and sectors. Rather than work in a separate silo with one or two partners, you’ll tend to work across a group. What’s more, everyone’s door is always open, and we’re keen to share knowledge via quality mentoring schemes at every opportunity.
We truly believe that in a large, multinational organisation, collaboration and mutual support have provided the cultural bedrock for continued success.
