Who you'll work with
Our values guide our behaviour, and our behaviour defines our culture. We have just four values and like all the best and most effective things in life, they are simple:
- pulling together
- talking business sense
- being within reach and responsive
- taking initiative
Every partner and senior manager believes in our values and behaves in line with them. We constantly check this through appraisals, promotion criteria, recruitment criteria, reward and recognition and staff surveys.
We're proud of our culture and we work at keeping it at the heart of all we do. What makes Shoosmiths special is that every person who works in the firm knows why we have values.
