Award Winning Culture:
In business, everything can be copied but the culture – and we’re very proud of the culture we have created at gunnercooke.
With coaching, an internal television station, regular networking events and an extensive social program including an annual Symposium in Oxford, gunnercooke provides a vibrant internal network. Although lawyers operate from wherever they choose, they each feel like they’re part of a wider family where every member understands their peers’ work, ambitions and challenges.
The very nature of our organization breeds collaboration. Working within a network of experienced likeminded lawyers, you have access to a world of expertise, perspectives and potential new clients. Last year 30% of fees were generated through internally referrals.
Teamwork and collaboration are at the heart of our firm and we encourage as much networking, cross-referrals and teamwork as possible. Many of our lawyers work on matters with a large team around them, comprising gunnercooke attorneys from a range of practice areas. You choose who you work with.
The Symposium
The Symposium is gunnercooke’s annual highlight event, a two-day all-firm retreat in Oxford. This event epitomizes the gunnercooke culture of collaboration and togetherness, as we all come together to celebrate our successes. The days are filled with keynote addresses, workshops and breakout sessions, networking and social events, and a black-tie dinner.
The Symposium gives our partners and staff members the ability to network with each other and make new connections, by breaking down barriers and simply having some fun. The event is a cultural milestone and celebration for gunnercooke. It’s a fantastic and unique occasion to meet and network with partners and colleagues, new and old, from across different practice areas, regions, and countries.
