Reed Smith’s global footprint spans oceans and continents, with our largest office in London. With more than 350 lawyers serving international and domestic clients, our London office undertakes all forms of inward investment to the United Kingdom, as well as matters with business overseas.
Our commitment to excellence and innovation starts with service. In addition to our professional achievements in the legal community, we have earned an international reputation for exceptional, seamless client service. Domestically, we have honed our skills acting for the media, transportation, energy and finance industries. But, our London lawyers have advised on all aspects of English law involving trade, litigation and commercial concerns worldwide. Based in the heart of the City of London, and supported by our global network, our London office strategically supports clients worldwide with the cutting-edge advice they need to grow and manage their businesses.
At Reed Smith diversity, equity and inclusion are key components of our culture and values, our business model, and our economic platform. Being inclusive is not only good for our people, it is also good for our business. It helps us develop the right relationships with our clients, forming connections that lead to better understanding of commercial challenges and opportunities. Innovation flourishes in a diverse environment; solutions are derived more rapidly and cooperatively. People thrive when they are respected and valued.
We have reported our UK gender pay gap figures for the seventh year of statutory pay gap reporting in the United Kingdom.
We know we have some way to go to achieve our goal of complete parity for all at the firm but we are proud of the progress we have made and remain fully committed to achieving that objective. The firm’s ongoing success depends on its ability to innovate and develop new ways of working to ensure that we can continue to deliver the very best service to our clients. We rely on our diversity of thought to innovate, which is why creating an environment of inclusion for everyone at the firm and all potential new candidates is business critical for Reed Smith.
