Pioneering a world of change

Spencer West seeks to go beyond legal practice by contributing to the communities in which we live and work. Through the Spencer West Foundation, our pro bono work and our approach to governance, we support initiatives where our people have a close connection and where our involvement can make a practical difference.

Values that drive us

We are more than just legal experts; we are a global community with a unique and diverse perspective. Our lawyers complement their professional excellence with a vibrant sense of collaboration and a laser-focused approach to business.

Our Commitment to Responsible Tax Practices

In line with our commitment to integrity and compliance, our tax strategy guides our approach to tax compliance, risk management, and engagement with tax authorities. Through this strategy, we aim to uphold sustainable and ethical business practices across all our international offices and affiliated entities.

Embracing uniqueness

We value our Partners as individuals, each with their own identity and cultural outlook. We dedicate a percentage of our profits to reward leadership and support meaningful causes through the Spencer West Foundation.

A force for innovation

We advise on some of the most dynamic and innovative climate change initiatives, from global solar and wind power projects to intricate multi-jurisdictional energy transfers. Our Partners also champion endangered species, promote indigenous African art, build schools in India, and offer support to deprived communities, alienated young people and families in conflict, whilst contributing to a variety of causes worldwide.

Pro Bono Work

Partners’ Pro Bono activities range from free legal clinics for hard-pressed families, to work for household name charities like The Prince’s Trust.

Our cutting-edge Pro Bono Incentive Scheme encourages our Partners to devote time to good causes on a regular basis. We support pro bono clients in the same way, and to the same standards, as we support our regular clients. If your charity or business is making a positive difference in the Environmental, Social or Governance space, and you need to save on legal costs, we would be delighted to meet with you to discuss how we might be able to help.
