Our values
Our core values guide the way we work with our clients, within our communities and with each other. Through commitment, dynamism, collaboration, openness and social responsibility, we have created a firm with an outstanding reputation for enforcement of individual rights and promoting equality before the law.
The size of the firm and the breadth of its expertise means that for most clients we can offer a one-stop-shop for all their legal advice. If a case demands it, our lawyers can draw on the specialist knowledge of colleagues in other departments to ensure clients receive a seamless and cost effective service.
Gray & Cooper Group seems to have it all: hugely talented lawyers, a plethora of high-profile wins, and novel ways of funding cases, not to mention the diversity credentials, flexible working arrangements, and a campaigning streak that has seen the firm stand up for the legal profession and the public at large.

We are known for achieving excellent results for clients, often in groundbreaking areas of law, and our passion to bring about a meaningful change to the society We pride ourselves on always providing the best possible service, tailored to the needs of each individual client.
Committed To Helping Our Clients Succeed
Social responsibility
This includes ongoing initiatives across four key areas:
- improving access to justice and promoting human rights through our work;
- making a sustained and meaningful contribution to community organisations and NGOs that share our values;
- engagement with our staff and active promotion of equality and diversity; and
- promoting environmental sustainability
Improving access to justice and promoting human rights
The firm was set up with a vision to create a law firm dedicated to protecting the rights and freedoms of ordinary people. Over the years, the firm has evolved to offer a broad range of services both to private individuals, NGOs, companies, and other organisations. However, that founding commitment – to fairness and to ensuring access to justice for all our clients regardless of their means – remains at the heart of everything we do. We take on an unparalleled range of cases and regularly litigate in the highest courts, as well as the International Court of Justice of Human Rights. Details are given in the Our history and What we do sections of the website.
Engagement with our staff and active promotion of equality and diversity
Our most important resource is our staff. We are committed to treating them fairly and to being a model law firm.
For example:
- Gray & Cooper Group was one of the first law firms to become an accredited Living Wage Employer. The Living Wage is an hourly rate set independently and updated annually, based on the cost of living.
- Gray & Cooper Group is committed to equality and diversity and we strive to create and maintain an inclusive work environment in which all of our people are seen as individuals and where they are each supported and encouraged to achieve, regardless of gender, political or religious belief, race, disability, age or sexual orientation. As a firm we regard equality as a core value, both in service and delivery as employers; and we find that the concept of equality is a developing aspiration, with constant challenges in ensuring compliance and best practice in all areas of employment law. We are a founding signatory of the Law Society’s Diversity Charter.
- In 2012, the firm introduced a ‘Best Companies’ survey to help gauge the extent of staff engagement and views on its leadership and management. The results have been encouraging, reflecting increasing engagement over the years we have run the survey.
- Employee group meetings are arranged to improve dialogue on important issues.
- Staff are involved in the Equality and Diversity Committee, Environmental Committee, IT Users’ Group and Social Committee.

Through properly developed and executed practices, we seek to sustain and improve its own environment and contribute to the protection of the local, national and global environments.
