At Cripps, we’re lawyers for business and life.
Solving your problems, championing your ambitions to make a positive and lasting difference.
Sustainability and technology integration.
We understand that sustainability and technology are central to the future of retail real estate. Our own focus on energy efficiency and ESG considerations aligns with industry demands for responsible asset management.
We are one of the first UK law firms to have piloted and joined the Net Zero Now Initiative, a protocol to reduce carbon across the legal sector backed by The Law Society. This puts us on the Road the Net Zero by 2030, and towards our objective to build a more sustainable future.
We leverage legal technologies to streamline operations, enhance client experiences, and accelerate project delivery. Recently, we have assisted several key clients in managing their large property portfolios by setting up an online document management suite and intranet.
This innovative, forward-thinking approach enables us to provide high-quality, efficient, and adaptable solutions designed to meet the evolving needs of the retail sector.
Diversity, equality and inclusion (DEI)
We have an excellent record of supporting gender diversity and attracting young people who may not have considered a legal career. As well as re-examining our recruitment practices and equal pay across gender, ethnicity, age and other characteristics, we also encourage our supply chain to enhance their practices.
As a law firm that has worked with thousands of businesses, we celebrate the resilience of female leaders. Our Female Leaders Beating Bias report highlights the experiences of female leaders overcoming obstacles and breaking barriers, offering a platform for female leaders to share their insights and strategies. Our lawyers are also members of the Association of Women in Property, a network that creates opportunities, expands knowledge and inspires change for women working in the property and construction industry.
We are B Corp™ certified.
We are one of the first UK law firms of our size to receive B Corp™ certification. We have joined a global community of businesses aligning profit and purpose to create a more inclusive and sustainable economy.
Our difference. Putting you at the heart of what we do, we care about how our advice supports what really matters to you. Taking it personally from the outset, we’re one dedicated, integrated team, solving your problems, championing your ambitions and planning for the future. By your side and backing your cause, we inform better decisions. Manage risk. And uncover new opportunities.
Our purpose.
Together, our purpose is to be the difference. This means solving problems and championing ambitions to make a positive and lasting impact.
We realise that actions are more important than words. We make our purpose a reality by channelling our actions through four key 'pillars' - our clients, people, community and planet.
