Thinking differently, by Design
We’re focused on delivering practical benefits and clear value to you from the outset. That’s why our Legal Innovation team works with you and our market-leading lawyers to understand your issues in-depth first, and only then designs bespoke, innovative ways to solve a challenge or deliver a project. We can do this because of our culture, the mix of talent we deploy, and the way we approach legal design.
Innovation is central to our strategy and culture and drives everything we do at CMS. We train, recognise and reward our people for thinking differently and coming up with new ideas, however big or small. We know that small steps and iteration often lead to important, practical innovations for you, just as much as big, disruptive ideas. By galvanising our own people to explore new ways of getting things done, we’re better able to do the same for you.
How it works, by Design
Our structured approach to innovation ensures that we keep the people and the challenges that are important to you at the centre. Firstly, we identify your current needs and challenges, then our teams collaborate with you to design practical solutions that meet your needs and add extra value to your business – using the wide range of technologies, services and capabilities at CMS and already in your business. The final step is to implement and deliver those services, constantly monitoring and re-evaluating so that the innovative services and solutions we offer keep improving and evolving to your needs now and to anticipate your needs in the future.
