We’re here to fuel business success and create positive impact

Good work-life balance matters

We offer hybrid and flexi-time working, things like lunchtime yoga and paid volunteering days, and an Employee Assistance Programme for confidential mental health and wellbeing support.

Fair pay and benefits

We’re a living wage employer and offer enhanced parental and adoption leave. We also run an all-staff bonus scheme where everyone gets the same share, regardless of seniority. It’s adjusted only for how many days someone works. 

Real career progression

Structured training, clear career frameworks and progression routes, annual and mid-year reviews, and a real focus on promoting from within. We make sure that people get the opportunity to shape the direction their career is taking and can get what they want out of their careers.

Broader perspectives

Things like a culture committee and suggestions box mean that every member of our team can have a say in the way we do business.

Recognised for excellence

We embrace technology and prioritise sustainable growth and financial stability over quick wins. All part of our mission to raise the bar for industry standards, and what our clients can expect from the profession. 

Testament to this, in 2025, we were awarded Small Law Firm of the Year at the Cornwall Law Society awards and continue to secure listings in all of our practice areas in the globally recognised legal directory, The Legal 500. 

Embracing technology 

We stick to rigorous data protection and cybersecurity standards, and have been independently-audited for the Cyber Essentials Plus accreditation. We’re also looking at how we can improve efficiency and create cost savings for clients by integrating AI into our day-to-day practice in a cautious, measured way. 

Supporting pioneering companies

We are proud to support a number of clients leading the way in creating positive environmental impact and pioneering emerging technologies.

Recycle It Global Group specialise in sustainable processing of construction, demolition, and excavation waste. They then transform that waste into high-quality, certified recycled aggregate materials, helping create a circular economy in construction. We advised them on their new ventures at Scorrier, St Eval and Pomphett Jetty in Plymouth. 

St Austell Brewery joined forces with Scottish Power to install around 300 electric vehicle charging points across their estate. We are working within the client’s internal teams to coordinate with the current pub operators, managers and central function and help avoid disruption to customers as the scheme is rolled out.

Tugdock’s patented marine buoyancy bag technology is a game changing solution for the floating offshore wind industry. We helped them secure investment to set up a new manufacturing facility in Cornwall, grow their team and scale up the company.

Breaking down barriers to the legal profession

We participate in Pathways to Law, offering work experience to students who might otherwise struggle to gain the skills, network, and opportunities to break into the legal profession. 

Paid time off to volunteer

Every team member can take a paid day away to support a charity or community cause of their choice. So far we’ve helped St Petrocs, cleaned beaches with fellow B Corp Finisterre x Surfers Against Sewage, sat on an interview panel at WILD Young Parents Project and supported two foodbank days with Tesco. 

Proud to support

As well as our volunteering days and fundraising efforts, we’re proud to support these local communities/charities over the long term:

Reducing our impact

We’ve been steadily reducing our energy consumption and carbon emissions since we began measuring them in 2018. We’ve now started measuring our water and waste so we can look to reduce these too. And we’re looking into alternative tariffs and suppliers for things like energy and banking. 

Small changes in the office

Things like environmentally friendly office cleaning products, recycled printer paper, LED lighting and more recycling options are helping the team to work in a more environmentally-friendly way. 

Encouraging better transport

We’ve introduced the cycle to work scheme and allow all staff to park in our car park two days a week – encouraging them to share with people who have a car parking space on different days and reduce car journeys to the office.
