Corporate Social Responsibility

• Corporate Social Responsibility

  As a highly successful law firm with talented and diverse staff and clients, Blavo & Co is in an excellent position to help the community.

  We recognise that our success has been achieved through continuous hard work, commitment and progressive ideas.

  We are committed and believe in our company ethos, this has in turn energised us towards a positive future.

  The true reflection of our values is demonstrated by Blavo & Co in our focus on four key areas.

  • Pro Bono

    Blavo & Co staff provides many hours of free legal advice to all sections of the community mainly through citizen advice bureau, law centres, hospitals and outreach centres.  We also provide free advice and support to many charitable and community organisations throughout London and the South East.

    • Community

      Our staff have skills, energy and motivation that usually make a real difference to the communities we are based in.  We usually work in partnership with community organisations, schools, colleges, hospitals and other local charities.

      • Environment

        Blavo & Co have taken significant steps to improve our environmental performance.  For example, whenever we undertake a refurbishment of any of our freehold office building we undertake all works and incorporate the latest energy saving ideas to improve environmental performance.  This includes reducing our energy consumption, recycling, promoting sustainable travel and procurement.

        • Charitable Giving

          Our charitable committee supports causes like MIND, Great Ormond Street Hospital and many other International Charities in Africa and the Indian Subcontinent.  We organise corporate and individual fund raising events throughout the year.

          • Diversity, Fairness and Inclusion

            At Blavo & Co we are committed to the creation of a culture of fairness.  For us a fair culture is one which respects the contributions which can be made by talented people from all backgrounds and with differing views and experiences.

            We are convinced that such a culture enhances in an outstanding way our ability to provide a service of quality to our clients.  This culture of fairness and inclusion underpins our recruitment practice and guides the firm’s ethos and policies to the development and retention of those who work here.

            Diversity is a word that means different things to different people.  Blavo & Co celebrates the diversity of its people – different backgrounds, different cultures, different experiences, different interests, different ages, and different needs.

            We are committed to creating a workplace where our people can be themselves, celebrating the fact that we are all individuals.

            At Blavo & Co we are open, friendly and promote inclusiveness.  Everyone at the firm is respected for the role they play and every member of the team is highly valued.

            Blavo & Co sets itself apart from the traditional law firm by recruiting from a wide range of educational background at every level.  Our Partners are from a range of universities.  We believe that we can maintain academic excellence yet build a firm that reflects our client’s values and the people we work with everyday.   Please ask for our diversity, fairness and inclusion strategy.

            At Blavo & Co, Diversity, Fairness and Inclusion is a serious issue for us and our approach is based on a set of basic principles. Our Diversity strategy and policy have been developed to support these principles.
