Hybrid working

At the heart of who we are as a firm is our people and culture. We strive to be a leader in people experience, to create an environment where people thrive and others want to join. Our staff retention rates, the engagement levels recorded in the employee surveys and our recognition in Best Companies To Work For and RollOnFriday all evidence our strong people culture and the fact we are a great place to work. People enjoy and value working and interacting with colleagues and this was the single biggest reason for people wishing to return to some level of office-based working. We want a community spirit that goes beyond the immediate team you work with and works well across teams and offices. We are often at our best when we come together, collaborating with our clients, across our offices, legal services, sectors and functions.

All employees whose contractual place of work is the office and whose jobs are capable of being done remotely may spend a maximum of 50% of working time (across a fortnightly period) working remotely, subject to both the needs of the business and our clients. We also need to recognise that there may be occasions when you will need to attend the office at times you had planned or would have preferred to work from home when asked by a colleague or client and it is considered necessary, for example, to meet the needs of the business or deliver a leading client experience.

We hope this approach will help us rebuild the vibrant office life we want as a hallmark of our people experience but also give everyone the flexibility to adapt their routines to the demands of their diary.
