We care about our own people and our wider community as much as we care about our clients. That’s why we promote equality, diversity and sustainability, and always look for new ways to make a positive difference.
Proud of the attentive and friendly culture in our offices, we support the pursuits of our team as much as possible, whether that’s family life, a burning passion in a specialist sector or a cause close to their heart.
As a values-driven firm we strive to make sure we have a positive impact on our community and society through the following ongoing commitments:
We are pleased to announce Cardiff Foodbank as our 2023 charity of the year, a brilliant and valued local charity. We cannot wait help locals via our regular food drop-offs and are looking forward to getting involved with such an important cause throughout 2023.
Last year, Darwin Gray raised money for our 2022 charity of the year, Velindre Cancer Centre. Known as the Hospital of Hope, Velindre is the leading provider of radiotherapy and other specialised anti-cancer treatments in Wales.
We’ve been a Living Wage employer since 2017. In fact, we were the first Welsh law firm to be accredited by the Living Wage Foundation. This means that anyone working at Darwin Gray receives a minimum hourly rate that’s calculated and updated each year in line with the real cost of living.
Everyone has a part to play in the conservation of our environment, no matter how big or small. Over the years, we’ve continually made positive changes in the office to make our business as sustainable as possible, including:
Of course, there’s always more we can do, and the whole team continues to contribute ideas for greener, more sustainable practices.
As an equal opportunities employer, we see the strength in diversity and drawing on a range of experiences. Every team member has the right to fair practices and behaviour at work, as well as equal access to benefits and conditions.
When it comes to our clients, we advise on all aspects of equality and diversity and promote HR best practices, and our Employment Law and HR team often provide training courses to a wide variety of clients on the topic.
With offices in South and North Wales, and with nearly a third of our employees able to provide legal services through the medium of Welsh, , we were proud to receive the Welsh Language Commissioner’s ‘Y Cynnig Cymraeg’ (the Welsh Language Offer) accreditation.
The Welsh Offer’s aim is to demonstrate and promote the high standard of services that we can offer to our clients through the medium of Welsh.
