It’s said that in business, everything can be copied but the culture – and we’re very proud of the culture we have created at gunnercooke.

One of the common misconceptions of a model like ours is that people work alone. This could not be more wrong. From day one our people are encouraged to collaborate with a global community of top-tier experts in just about every corporate and commercial discipline.

Collegiate working is at the forefront of our award-winning culture, which is what sets our firm apart from the rest. Last year over £15m in fees was referred through our internal network. You’ll benefit from being able to handpick a team of specialists to best suit each client or matter, and work alongside partners across different regions and practice areas. A team of 600 at your fingertips.

With coaching, an internal television station, regular networking events and an extensive social programme including The Symposium, our annual conference in Oxford, gunnercooke provides a truly 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 Symposium

Every year gunnercooke holds its highlight event of the year, The Symposium. This event epitomises the gunnercooke culture of collaboration and togetherness, as we all come together to celebrate our successes. Previous themes have included ‘Good to Great’, ‘We Weren’t Born to Follow’ and ‘Wonderful Lives’. We’ve welcomed speakers including Dr. Rangan Chatterjee and Matthew Syed and enjoyed choir singing, yoga, and the haka!

The event 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 really 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 and regions.

I can honestly say joining gunnercooke is one of the best things I’ve ever done. No billing targets, no politics. It allows me to focus purely on my clients and help them solve their legal issues.”
