At Fisher Jones Greenwood LLP we care about the impact we have on the local community and the environment. We recognise that our clients and staff also place these issues of high importance. This is how we show our commitment:-
Community Support
Fisher Jones Greenwood are only one of two legal firms in the whole of the East Anglian region which continues to offer a full range of social welfare related publicly funded legal service. We have specialists who provide services to vulnerable client groups who need advice on employment, welfare benefits, housing, community care, education, public law and personal injury. We currently have three offices in Essex, two in Colchester and one in Chelmsford and shortly we will open our Clacton office.
Advice for Young People
Fisher Jones Greenwood have operated a national pilot for the Legal Services Commission designed to make legal services more accessible to children and young people, especially those who are in the care system. This project, named “Lawyers for Young People” has now been adopted by The Children’s Society. Fisher Jones Greenwood has retained a strategic partnership with them in order to identify suitable test cases involving children and young people where the law operates unfairly or where there are gaps in the law affecting children or young people
Support for Charities
Through staff nominations, every year Fisher Jones Greenwood chooses a ‘Charity of the Year’. For 2011/2012 staff have elected to support Colchester NSPCC Business Group. To reinforce our commitment in this area we have appointed a Charity Liaison Officer, Marion Knocker whose role is to build close relationships with our charity.
Consideration for our Staff
Fisher Jones Greenwood was the first law firm in North East Essex to obtain the Investors in people (IIP) accreditation in 1998 and has now held it for over ten years.
