Corporate social responsability

A focus on caring for the world we work and live in

We want to ensure that the talent and energy of our lawyers contributes to society in a positive way. We aim to be viewed as a good corporate citizen in every jurisdiction that we operate in, and this is how we try to achieve that.
Education
Children are our future and we work to ensure more of the next generation have access to an education system that many take for granted. This includes a commitment to building schools in underdeveloped areas and providing educational materials. On top of this, we also make a direct contribution to education - working with local schools and colleges to provide work experience and workplace interview programmes for young people.
Environment
We are proud of many of our firms’ green initiatives. These include challenging staff to consider how they can help meet our environmental responsibilities and implementing environmentally-conscious and energy-saving changes within our offices. On top of this, many of our European firms promote the use of public transport amongst all staff members.
Economic Growth
We believe in supporting the economic growth of each of our jurisdictions and some of our firms provide free assistance to foreign investors and free online consultations for charitable and non-governmental organisations that, in their turn, help those in need.
Charity
We are proud supporters of charities around the world - our firms partner with local charities and work to understand local communities and how best to support them. Our contributions have included direct hands-on volunteering as well as fund-raising through events such as half marathons and fun runs.
We work with the Maria Ayuda Foundation
They seek to provide a family shelter experience for children and adolescents who are facing neglect or abuse.
We support the Astoreca Foundation
They deliver education and materials to underprivileged children in Chile.
