Our values are at the heart of Clarke Willmott. They show what matters to us now and what we want to keep building in the future – and shape how we work with our clients, colleagues and communities. Whether we’re being client focused,caring, curious or commercial, we all bring these values to life in our own way, every day. To show what this really looks like, I’ve asked some of our people to share their thoughts.
Being commercial means always having awareness of our business needs and finding ways to work that benefit both the firm and me as an individual.
Senior Associate Emily Hope
For me, being client oriented is about being genuinely interested in their business and being present with them, professionally and personally.
Partner Graham McIntyre
In my working life, caring drives both the way I support my team and colleagues and my professional focus on trust and compliance.
Head of Onboarding Natalie Maloney
For me, being client oriented means always making the client feel comfortable to contact me and be as open and honest with them as I can.
Legal Administrator Kim Plowden
Being caring means being measured, a good listener and simply engaging with those around me so they feel every interaction is positive.
Partner Clare Gregory
For me, being curious means learning, developing, adapting and improving – to become the best version of myself, for me and the firm.
Paralegal Charlotte Westwood
For me, being curious opens doors for growth and informs my passion for social mobility, inclusion and seeking new business opportunities.
Senior Associate Geraldine Stephens
Being commercial isn’t just about billing but making daily decisions that build a sustainable future – for us, our clients and communities.
