Health and Wellness
At Chadwick Lawrence we are committed to the health and wellbeing of our colleagues. The Firm is only as good as the people who work here, so why wouldn’t we? As a Firm, we work hard at breaking the mould of a traditional law firm. Our values support innovative and collaborative thinking & our health and wellbeing strategy is testament to this. You don’t need to just take our word for it, we’ve recently been recognised as one of the best places to work in 2024 by the Sunday Times.
Our Commitment
Health and wellness go far beyond nutrition, exercise, and rest. True wellness is about balance, fulfilment, and feeling empowered in all aspects of life - both personally and professionally. We recognise that wellness is different for everyone, which is why we provide the flexibility and resources to support each colleague’s unique journey.
We believe in giving our colleagues the time and space to nurture their individual wellbeing. Whether it’s learning something new, pursuing personal interests, or simply taking time to recharge, or spend time in the outdoors, we believe in giving our people the time and space to nurture their individual wellbeing. This is our secret to providing the best quality work for our clients.
Our inclusive and supportive culture empowers everyone to bring their authentic selves to work. We celebrate the diversity of experiences, strengths, and ideas that each person brings to Chadwick Lawrence. No two journeys are the same, and we are dedicated to fostering an environment where everyone can grow, collaborate, and achieve their full potential.
Our health and wellness strategy does not centre purely around healthy eating and exercise, as important as that is. At Chadwick Lawrence we’re conscious that wellness means different things to different people. As such our wellness strategy includes several touch points that offer something for everyone.
