Mission Statement

 

Anderson Law Mission Statement

 Who we are:

  • We are a team – we get on and pull together.
  • We are committed to our people. We recognise and value that everyone brings their own skills to the table. We offer opportunities for individuals to develop and enhance their skills and experience.
  • We aim to create an environment where people work here because they enjoy it, not just because it’s a job.
  • We aim to offer everyone interesting work and opportunities for people to become recognised experts in their field and good career opportunities.
  • We have a relatively ‘flat’ organisational structure – everyone has a voice and a stake in our future success.
  • We do our best to avoid office politics. 

What we do:

  • We work for interesting clients, many of whom are world-leaders at the forefront of technology and innovation.
  • We have high standards and pride in our work product.
  • We invest in building relationships, aiming to become an extension of our client’s team, as opposed to external lawyers working on an arms’ length basis.
  • We operate as trusted advisors, often getting involved in high-level strategy discussions.
  • We play things “with a straight bat”. 

How we work:

  • We support each other as colleagues.  We give lawyers a high degree of autonomy, but we offer (and encourage) people to ask for help when they need it. 
  • The partners have an “open door” policy – if anyone has an issue, or a suggestion, we want people to feel that they can speak to us and we will do our best to find a solution. 
  • We offer flexible working arrangements.
  • We don’t give lawyers individual targets, but we do communicate firm-wide goals  and strategy to encourage us all to pull together as a team.
  • We work hard always, but we do not expect lawyers to work excessive hours regularly.
  • We actively encourage our lawyers to share drafts with colleagues and to take on board constructive criticism to improve the end product.  Our collective goal is to ensure that each draft that goes out the door is of high quality, and reflects our client’s requirements.
