Shaping a brighter future

Our firm has a strong history of supporting causes close to our hearts and in line with our business ethos.

We believe in making a difference where we can, using our skills, knowledge and expertise, along with pro bono work, donations and fundraising, to help shape a brighter future with economic, ecological and social benefits.

The World Reimagined

We were honoured to be chosen as the legal services delivery partner to The World Reimagined, a ground-breaking, national art education charity working to transform how the UK understands the Transatlantic Trade in Enslaved Africans and its impact on us all. It was a privilege to have taken part in the charity’s 2022 project when it opened sculpture trails in seven cities across the UK with the aim of achieving real educational change and learning about this important topic. The art trails featured globe sculptures, each created by a different artist, depicting a particular aspect of the Transatlantic Trade in Enslaved Africans and designed to bring to life its history, reality and legacy. We’re proud to continue to support this great cause.

10th Anniversary Events

To celebrate our 10th anniversary in 2023, we held ten events, including walking over 10,000 miles over a period of ten months to raise £11,000 for our nominated charities (which included Alzheimer’s Society, Cancer Research UK, Rights of Women, Shelter from the Storm and Youth Legal).

Little Lives UK’s Technology Programme

We donate the firm’s redundant IT devices to Little Lives, a charity which repurposes them for use by children who don’t have access to IT.

Heath Hands

We attended a CSR day run by Heath Hands to help clean up Hampstead Heath, as well as donating to its invaluable education and family programme in memory of the greatly admired founder of a longstanding client.

LendwithCare

Since 2020 we’ve supported LendwithCare, a micro-finance initiative and provided over 161 loans to help 285 low-income entrepreneurs around the world to work their way out of poverty.

The World Traders’ Annual Tacitus Lecture

For the last two years we’ve been delighted to sponsor The World Traders’ Annual Tacitus Lecture, a large event held at the Guildhall in the City of London, hosted by the Worshipful Company of World Traders. Each year, the Company invites distinguished and prestigious speakers from different fields to address a wide audience on important issues affecting world trade. The 37th Annual Tacitus Lecture was held on 29th February 2024 with speaker The Lord Browne of Madingley, whose topic was ‘Optimism and Change: Sexuality, Climate and Engineering’. We were thrilled to have been part of such an enriching, thought-provoking and truly inspiring experience.

The King’s Trust

For the last two years we’ve sponsored our client, Hyperoptic Ltd, in the King’s Trust Palace to Palace challenges and have been proud to help raise money to change young lives.
