Charles Russell Speechlys named in top 20 highest-scoring firms in new Lamp House responsible business report

We are delighted to be named as one of the top 20 highest scoring firms in the latest Lamp House review of law firms’ responsible business activity. 

Lamp House Strategy is an insights specialist for the legal sector, who have undertaken a review and scored 150 law firms’ responsible business performance and activities against three categories: Governance, People and Planet in their most recent report. The report evaluates the meaningful actions that are being taken across the three areas in each firm, how transparently performance and progress is being communicated and the use of data to inform targets and strategy.

Our place in the leading firms list recognises our ongoing investment and growth in our responsible business strategy over the last year, as highlighted in our most recent Annual Review.

Simon Ridpath, Managing Partner and Kerry Stares, Partner & Director of Responsible Business comment: 

We are proud to have been recognised in the list of top 20 Firms in this year’s report. While our efforts are ongoing and require long-term continual commitment, we’re pleased that our inclusion celebrates the work that we have done to date and the value that operating as a responsible business brings to our clients, our people and the communities in which we operate.
