At Maples and Calder we are very proud of the culture that pervades all our offices. Collectively we have worked hard to ensure that the professional and yet friendly working environment has endured as we have grown. Rather than one single ingredient, we think there are a number of reasons why Maples is such great environment to work in. For example;

• Our recruitment policy is designed to identify not only the best technical lawyers and professional support staff, but also decent, well-rounded people. Doing good work is not enough at Maples, if it is achieved to the detriment of colleagues.
  
  
• Teamwork and communication are two of our core values. Not only do our clients benefit from this but our lawyers in turn prefer it. They know there is always someone to turn to if help is needed. We have an open door policy in all our offices and there is always a healthy buzz of conversation going on.
  
  
• Characteristically our lawyers take their work seriously, but not themselves.
