Sustainability statement

1. Our commitment to sustainability

We are committed to running our business responsibly and to supporting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Our focus is on the areas where we can make the most meaningful contribution: improving access to justice, supporting fair and inclusive workplaces, driving innovation in legal services, and operating with a light environmental footprint.

2. SDG 16: Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions

Our core contribution to sustainability lies in advancing SDG 16. We believe that access to justice and strong institutions are fundamental to sustainable growth. We contribute to this goal by:

• providing SMEs with proactive, affordable, and transparent legal services through our subscription model;

• promoting fairness, accountability, and compliance in the businesses we serve;

• embedding transparency into our own operations, including clear terms, fair use policies, and open communication with clients; and

• using technology through our Client Hub to make legal services more efficient and accessible.

Through these efforts, we help build resilient businesses and contribute to stronger, fairer institutions in the wider economy.

3. SDG 5: Gender Equality

We are committed to promoting diversity and equality within our own business and in the services we provide. As a female-led company, we recognise the importance of representation and inclusivity. Our employment practices are designed to be fair, supportive, and non-discriminatory, and we provide guidance to our clients on developing workplace policies that promote equality and inclusivity.

4. SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth

We support SMEs, which form the backbone of the UK economy, by providing them with the legal tools they need to grow responsibly and sustainably. By helping businesses navigate employment law, compliance, and regulatory obligations, we contribute to decent work and stable growth. Internally, we ensure our own team members work in fair conditions and have opportunities for development and progression.

5. SDG 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure

Innovation is central to Lawyerlink. Our Client Hub is designed to modernise the way legal services are delivered, making them more efficient, scalable, and client-focused. By integrating technology with legal expertise, we contribute to building more innovative and sustainable professional services infrastructure.

6. SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production

As a technology-driven legal services provider, we have a relatively light environmental footprint, but we still take our responsibility seriously. We operate on a digital-first basis, minimising the use of paper and reducing the need for unnecessary travel. We use secure cloud hosting to manage client data efficiently, and we encourage remote-first working practices to lower our carbon impact.

7. Continuous improvement

Sustainability is an ongoing responsibility. We review our policies and practices regularly to ensure that they reflect best practice and the expectations of our clients, partners, and employees. We welcome feedback and ideas on how we can improve our contribution to sustainability and will continue to refine our approach over time.

9. Acknowledgement

We recognise that sustainability is a shared effort. We value the role our clients, suppliers, and team members play in supporting responsible growth, and we are committed to working together to create a fairer, more inclusive, and more sustainable legal services sector.
