About Us

Innovating today - looking to the future

Innovation for us is a daily process of developing effective, creative solutions for your business and making ground-breaking progress on environmental issues.

However, it isn’t the work of one team. We all have a mindset, a strategy, a purpose, a code and values that nurture innovation. It’s probably why for the second time in five years, we were named the Most Innovative Law Firm in Europe at the FT Innovative Lawyer Awards Europe 2020.

founder of RSG consulting, and architect and research partner of the FT Innovative Lawyer report.

Pinsent Masons stood out in the vanguard of being multidisciplinary, and also putting purpose at the centre of its strategy. It has long been talking the talk of innovation; now it is a firm most clearly putting that into action.

Our ‘Spark Board’ is another example of our innovative approach. This team of eight, from different generations, geographies and job roles, give our main Board alternative perspectives on key decisions. Discover more about Spark Board and our commitment to inclusive decision-making.

Using our professional muscle power to lighten your load

We understand working across multiple regions and industries has its challenges. You need flexible solutions that can meet the fast-moving, ever-changing and sometimes unexpected demands of your business. That’s why we developed Pinsent Masons Vario.

It offers you an extensive range of professional disciplines: flexible resourcing, managed services, diversity and inclusion consulting, legal project management, and technology consulting. This, coupled with our legal expertise, enables us to deliver you a single, consistent firmwide proposition to fulfil all your business requirements.

Senior solicitor and UK generation legal team manager, RWE Generation UK plc.

I think that they are an impressively forward thinking, innovative firm; for that reason I would definitely deal with Pinsent Masons again. I am very interested in their strategic approach, energy to challenge and their focus on innovation in an ever-changing legal world.

Embracing technology to benefit you, others and the planet

We’ve always placed a lot of importance on reducing our environmental impact. But in September 2020, we took it to the next level – we launched our Climate Change Mitigation & Sustainability Platform. This made us one of the first law firms to establish a board-sponsored platform, dedicated to educating, influencing and advocating for positive action on climate change.

This is far from our only environmental initiative. Even though we have the smallest carbon footprint of the UK’s top 30 law firms, and while the UK government has mandated that UK businesses should be net zero by 2050, we’re aiming to become a global net-zero business well before then. To help us achieve this, we have set science based targets to cut absolute carbon emissions by a minimum of 50% and to source 100% renewable electricity across our global network by 2030. These have been verified by the Science Based Target initiative (SBTi), an organisation which defines and promotes best practice in science-based target setting and independently assesses companies’ targets.

We’re not stopping there. Our commitment to UN Sustainable Development Goals extends to supporting clients, suppliers, employees, universities, NGOs and charities that share our green ambitions. Not just by showing them how we run an environment-focused business, but by demonstrating how we’re driving cultural change internally. By working together, we can all make the future that little bit brighter.
