To continue to succeed, we rely not just on our lawyers but also on the expertise of our business professionals. We need them to provide strategic support and direction and to manage the smooth running of our business operations.

We benchmark ourselves against other global organisations - not just against law firms. Accordingly, we recruit business professionals who are specialists in their own fields - such as business development and communications, human resources, finance, IT and knowledge management.

Our business professionals work in teams, alongside our lawyers and in their own departments. They play a vital part in helping to shape our business and making sure our clients receive a seamless service across the global firm. They work closely with the partnership to ensure our business model adapts and changes to meet our - and our clients - needs.

Perhaps most refreshingly, the Partners of Maples and Calder recognise the complimentary skills offered by our specialist support teams and act on the expertise they provide. Maples' recruitment philosophy is to only employ the most talented individuals in their specialist fields and this extends throughout the business.
