Rising to the challenge

Bringing together the work of our people and our clients, and ensuring our commitment to being a responsible business is hardwired into how we do things, makes me incredibly proud of our Firm and our collective achievements in the last year.

While standing still has never been part of our DNA, the projects and initiatives highlighted this year hopefully demonstrate who we are and what can be achieved by working together, particularly during such uncertain times. Our people go beyond being exceptional technical professionals, everyone at Charles Russell Speechlys is intellectually curious and aware of the world around them and the impact they can make. They want to work in a place that empowers them to make a difference beyond the delivery of legal services and it is critical we create an environment where those ambitions are recognised and can flourish. Our clients are extraordinary. Shaping and driving the world’s economy, they rely on us to combine our commercial attitude with our emotional intelligence to help them achieve their long-term goals. We partner on dynamic and complex legal challenges but it is the way in which we work together that ensures our client relationships are enduring. Our approach to being a responsible business lies at the heart of that. Charles Russell Speechlys has always taken it responsibilities seriously and this report brings together the many strands of activity and hard work undertaken by so many. Please do reach out to the people you know at the Firm if you would like to hear more.
