The more we change, the more we stay the same. We may seem unrecognisable from the firm that opened its doors in 1937 but we are still driven by the same values. These will always underpin where we go next. It is why we are prepared to take opportunities, even risks, where others would not.
We will remain independent, in control of our destiny and, no matter how fast the future changes, relevant. This means we will not try to be all things to all people but to align ourselves closer with the people that matter: our clients. Our Vision 2030 is centred around three increasingly entwined, connected sectors – Real Estate, Private Wealth and Capital, and the Innovation Economy – and we are known as a disputes powerhouse with a formidable firmwide capacity for dispute resolution. We are located in key centres of innovation and capital including London, Cambridge, Oxford, Hong Kong and Singapore. We also offer our clients non-legal services, like cyber security and e-discovery, that enhance our work in these areas.
Our vision is focused on AI and operational excellence. We will continue to invest in our technology platform integrating AI as part of everyday practice, as well as our operating model and Global Capability Centre. Our university-standard centre of learning, The Academy, remains central to educating our people and clients across legal, technological, economic and political developments. We will add to our growing body of published research on business-critical subjects, and in a more connected world we will drive a more flexible, collaborative approach across departments, disciplines and clients, and between what is ‘business’ and ‘personal’.
