CSR Policy
Simpson Millar LLP recognise that we are responsible for all our activities to our employees, clients, service providers and the broader society in which we operate.
We are dedicated to conducting ourselves responsibly and reasonably at all times and to ensuring that as full a contribution as is viable is made to our social and local economic development whilst improving the quality of life of all our members of staff.
As part of our ongoing commitment, this policy is reviewed and updated annually by the Management Committee.
Our Philosophy and Commitment
Our Clients
In a time when many businesses use the small print to catch their customers out, we pride ourselves on openness, honesty and integrity. We will, at all times, inform you about the status of your enquiry or about the costs you have incurred. We want our clients to feel:
- involved in their legal matters and not to feel like a spectator on the side
- highly impressed with our services
We look to learn about our clients so we understand their individual needs and circumstances and, by doing this, we can provide them with a tailor-made service for all their legal requirements. We want to become “your Lawyer" and to establish a relationship with you that you will value for many years.
Our Staff
We pride ourselves on the caliber, diversity and quality of our staff and for that reason we became one of the first law firms in England and Wales to achieve the Investors in People Accreditation. In April 2007, we became one of the first law firms considered against the new Investors in People standard that includes wellbeing of staff as a consideration.
In addition to our service to our clients and our professional reputation, we actively seek to offer our staff rewarding careers and job satisfaction.
