One team

At Setfords, we believe the only way we will deliver on our business’ amazing potential is by working together. We share in each other’s successes, and help each other out when things don’t go to plan – and we do so with a total absence of ego, blame, or internal competition.

Here to help

We help our clients and our consultants succeed because we are always happy to go the extra mile. Our first thought is always “how do we achieve this?”, not “is it my job to?”, and we relish the opportunities that this brings: to go beyond our comfort zone, and to learn new skills.

Smart problem-solvers

We work with thousands of clients and hundreds of lawyers every year – and every year we get better at understanding what those clients and lawyers need. We use cutting-edge tools, data analytics and subject-matter expertise to inform all of our judgements, and bring an entrepreneur’s mindset to work every day, always looking for ways to improve our offering.

We love the challenges and opportunities that our high-growth, dynamic and diverse culture generates, and we are always on the lookout for a new technology or interesting new perspective that will allow us to get to our destination even faster, whilst maintaining strict environmental and social values.

Nurturing talent
