Every business has a corporate culture and ours is no different. Our defined culture, outlines how we work and what people think about us. It incorporates a number of shared values, attitudes, standards and behaviours that make us who we are: Yorkshire’s Legal People, and create a great firm of law professionals.
We don’t like to over complicate things. In short we call our culture, incorporating our values, standards and behaviours the ‘Chadwick Lawrence Way’.
