CSR project of the year
Despite being a new category for 2008, CSR team of the year attracted the highest number of entries of any category this year. The judging panel was struck both by the quality of the entries and by the diversity of CSR initiatives being carried out by law firms in the UK. Finalists Berwin Leighton Paisner (BLP), Weightmans and Cripps Harries Hall all demonstrated the extent to which a well-run corporate social responsibility (CSR) programme can encourage voluntary work and channel it effectively into community projects. At BLP, 30% of the staff have taken part in the firm's CSR programme in some capacity while Weightmans has introduced a flexitime policy to allow staff to fit in their voluntary work more easily. Wragge & Co is another UK firm that has been making a major contribution to its local community. Its entry focused on the ongoing help and advice it has provided to Roshni, a Birmingham-based charity for victims of domestic violence.
