Industries can rapidly change, business models can be disrupted, and regulation can force organisations to change course almost overnight. By continually scanning the horizon, CMS helps its clients to anticipate both the challenges and the opportunities headed this way. This is Future Facing Law.
In a world where innovation is business as usual, our mission is to deliver practical, business-focused advice that helps clients of every size to face the future with confidence.
Our lawyers immerse themselves in our clients' worlds, and as genuine experts in their fields, offer a grasp of detail that is second to none. We combine this with a next-generation mindset that means we can deliver innovative processes and solutions at speed, and at scale.

CMS is part of organisations such as the CMS Lifesciences Asia-Pacific Network and the African Legal Network. Our lawyers are not only problem solvers but anticipate issues to allow our clients to perform better. We stay on top of the news agenda, regulatory discussions and new legislation and understand how macro trends, such as the fall in oil price, affect your business.

Our approach to service delivery is the same in all our offices, based on a common training program and a shared understanding of what our clients value. All CMS lawyers, both those we recruit and those we train in-house, are focused on providing quality advice and quality service. We are smart on the detail because the detail matters. We recruit, value and nurture top talent and through regular, independent evaluations, we identify opportunities to make improvements in our service and feed this back to our lawyers.
