Social Responsibilities

We help organisations to uphold strong labour practices, embrace diversity and inclusion, ensure high health and safety standards, and implement zero tolerance for modern slavery – all standard requirements for tenders and new supplier considerations.

Legal support with your social responsibilities

We help businesses with everything from managing vulnerable customers and colleagues to addressing the impacts of gender identification and health and wellness in the workplace.

We’re passionate about having a positive impact on our colleagues, clients and communities, and we actively promote access to justice and legal services through our own pro bono and charity work. From stockrooms to supply chains to our wider society, it’s the people who create sustainable businesses.

Our experts handle a wide range of social issues daily. From drafting a menopause policy to implementing flexible working or a four-day work week, we ensure that your employment processes are best practice.

We can help with:

  • Diversity & inclusion
  • Agile & flexible working toolkits
  • Employee advisory and policy creation.
