One Firm Action was born out of one of our Managing Partner, Robert Shooter’s leadership pledges. It represents a sustained effort by the firm's international network of offices to address local and global issues while fundraising throughout the year.
One Firm Action aimed to get the whole Fieldfisher network working collaboratively. In my seven years of working at Fieldfisher, this is the first project where I have seen all of us work together as one, and what a joyous year it has been.
One of the keys to making this huge project such a great success was that each office was able to support its own chosen charities, which I think made a big difference. We all like to support organisations which speak to our cultural values and ethos.

We are also embarking on new sustainability initiatives, as well as expanding on the success of our flagship Rooting for Change programme by expanding our forestation and conservation portfolio in new geographies.

People got involved in all sorts of things, like doing runs together and going out busking at weekends – things that I think are really joyful and that maybe they wouldn't have had cause to do otherwise with their colleagues.
