Change is a big thing for us and our clients
More and more businesses are facing change on multiple fronts ? with that comes disruption, but also opportunity. Which is possibly why we've always been happy to embrace change. The opportunities it creates intrigue and fascinate us - because it's those opportunities which enable us to help our clients succeed.
It's the challenge of change we like. When you really know your stuff, when you are out-and-out experts, then using that expertise to think differently, to see round corners and to find better solutions is what makes being an expert fun.
For a while now - in fact, before anyone else - we looked at our clients' legal issues in the context of their sector. Our sector-based approach means we can advise our clients, not just comprehensively, but also commercially. We can give the best advice to help them to tackle the issues they're facing today, and help them prepare for the ones that they will face tomorrow. Disruption has become a business norm, and for our clients it's not a question of "Is change happening?" ? it's "How quickly, and across how many areas?"

Our culture is not an added extra
One of the things that enables us to think differently is our culture. We have a great culture and, time and time again, it's acknowledged as being outstanding. And what's great about that is it brings and keeps the best people working for us ? plus, it attracts innovative and approachable clients, who think like us.
Our culture is fundamental to our success. So we cherish and protect it, we live by our values and reward the behaviours that support them. And our clients value this as much as our people.
For us, stuffy stereotypes and fussy formality have been left in the past ? where they belong. We push forward because we don't have time for rigid hierarchies and inflated egos, but we make time for energy and ambition.
And let's not forget a big part of being the law firm of the future is reflecting the changing world around us. So we're committed to welcoming diversity, promoting innovation and celebrating success.

Our London office runs the gamut from leading on revolutionary, industry-shaping business deals and pushing the innovation agenda in tech, media and comms, right through to helping businesses and governments shape the future of our cities and the built environment. With offices bridging the gap between the world's stalwart financial powerhouses in the City and the agile startups of Silicon Roundabout, there's no better place to harness the possibilities that one of the world's most iconic, diverse and vibrant cities has to offer.
