They act as powerful guiding principles despite a changing world around us. Our people tell us that we have a unique culture. It is the reason why clients keep coming back to us and why people find Fox Williams an enjoyable place to work. We want to keep it that way.
Each of our five values are interdependent and are equally important. Below you can find out what they actually mean to us, and how we aim to live them everyday.
Great client service: We strive to understand the client’s business and objectives and seek opportunities to add value. We spend time creating a relationship of trust with clients and provide access to lawyers with the relevant skills and expertise. We aim to be responsive and work to clear timetables delivering clear and commercially sound advice.
Giving decisive, practical, objective advice is critical.
Integrity and professionalism: We understand and adhere to our professional responsibilities in all our dealings, acting in the best interests of the client and striving for technical excellence. All our people understand they are ambassadors of the firm.
Behaving ethically and working to the highest professional standards is vitally important to us.
Our people: We foster the career development of others making sure that sufficient mentoring and support is given in a timely manner. We give honest and constructive feedback in real time and involve our colleagues in opportunities.
We treat each other as we would want to be treated: with respect.
Friendly, strong relationships: We get to know people on a personal basis, always aiming to build lasting relationships. We are a firm and work as a team helping clients and colleagues to achieve their goals.
Getting to know our clients and colleagues, finding out more about them and their objectives is an important part of the job and the life blood of Fox Williams.
Open communication: We are open, honest and respectful. We address issues as they arise, communicating with the values in mind. We deliver timely and transparent billing with no surprises.
