About Us
Preparing for tomorrow's challenges starts today. That's why CMS adopts a Future Facing approach, ensuring our clients stay ahead in an ever-evolving landscape. Global expertise, local insights, always with your commercial goals in mind.
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.
At CMS, we are committed to our clients, investing time and sharing knowledge to create and sustain long term relationships. I am personally always interested to hear your views and discuss ways of how we can improve what we do for you.

What this means in practice
Being Future Facing means staying one step ahead of industry trends and legal developments, allowing our lawyers to provide legal advice that is rooted in deep sector expertise and rich legal knowledge. It means agility is hardwired into the way we work and the way we think, delivering bespoke, innovative solutions to tackle the biggest legal and commercial challenges.
It means being a true business partner, keeping an eye out for both threats and opportunities. It means incorporating ethical and sustainable business practices that include diversity, inclusion and compliance as well as viewing all our operations from an ESG perspective.
It means creating a culture and work environment that encourages new ways of thinking and welcomes the perspectives and contributions of all.
Being Future Facing means caring about the future of our clients, our people, and the world around us.
