HM3 LEGAL
IN A NUTSHELL.

We are proud to be making a positive difference by changing lives for the better for clients, colleagues and communities. As a certified B Corporation we meet very high standards of performance, transparency and accountability – and will continue to learn how to be a better business. Our Vision is to promote sustainable growth, deliver legal innovation, and personal and professional development for colleagues.

In terms of service, we heard people’s frustrations about legal services loud and clear. Ironically, one of the problems was the industry wasn’t very clear at all. So we decided to do something about it. We stand by our 6 fresh standards helping to shake up the legal sector so you can count on us to say what we mean and do what we say.

At HM3 Legal we’re on a journey of ongoing improvement. Here are a few differences which may surprise you …

WALKING THE TALK

Making a positive difference

Being a force for good seems ‘fluffy’, right? Not to us. We believe sustainable growth is the only way forward. We are a certified B Corporation on a journey to achieve Net Zero by 2030. This means understanding our impact and setting credible reduction targets to reach our goal – one responsible decision at a time.

You will not hear us boasting about chasing eye-watering profits or ballooning headcount at the expense of people or the planet.

Since 2022 our B Corp journey has been teaching us about acting as a force for good. The more we learn, the more we want to have a positive impact. 

A no-brainer, right?

Bl**dy brilliant lawyers

#2

Easy to say, hard to do. This means we’re here for anyone frustrated by dealing with bl**dy lawyers, turning dread into delight. 

  • Valuing colleagues: Our RISE Values (Rise, Innovate, Shine, Engage) recognise individual contributions at all levels in the business. And our WOW Awards celebrate colleagues’ excellent service levels.
  • Appreciating service excellence: We are proud to have achieved the gold-standard Investor in Customers Gold accreditation (being in the top percentile of businesses ever assessed by the IIC) based on independent client and colleague feedback.

As an innovative and progressive legal business, we go beyond the legal question at hand. Every client matters, they are not just a file. Every colleague matters, supported by individual development programme. Our communities matter, we are making more sustainable decisions including reducing emissions and waste, being water wise, and through sustainable procurement.

Service first, second and last

#3

What do we mean by putting the service into legal services? Our lawyers will not go AWOL. It’s our commitment to working closely with clients and providing regular updates; something we call our ‘No chase pledge’. Our fixed fee options mean no surprise bills, and we will not bamboozle you with jargon. Our plain English promise means you can make the right decision for your situation.

Our fresh service standards are underpinned by using industry-leading technology to improve how legal services are delivered.

And there’s more! Where possible we help clients act in a more sustainable way, reducing the impact of their operations too.

FEEL the difference

#4

Doing law differently means treating every client differently, taking time to clearly explain options and steps, and paying attention to individual needs. And above all else, being human and picking up the phone, not hiding behind email.

Combine this with a smart and personalised service and we think you’ll notice the difference. 

As well as ‘being human’, finding innovative ways to provide legal advice, we also have a positive impact in our communities through volunteering, mentoring, sponsoring and fundraising.

OUR VISION

For us, bringing our Vision to life means walking the talk. When we say we are changing lives for the better for clients, colleagues and communities this means taking action not ‘blah, blah, blah!’ or soundbites. We are a certified B Corporation believing business should be a force for good. The business community can genuinely make a difference by addressing the climate crisis. We are on a journey of continual improvement to benefit clients, colleagues and communities in which we live and work.

Adding our voice

We want our voice to encourage SMEs to take positive action and embrace sustainable growth – not growth which is costing the earth (literally). By actively supporting our communities, being a Sustainable Palm Oil (SPO) Champion, and promoting national campaigns we are helping to raise awareness of important issues such as health and wellbeing, worker rights, taking climate action, and equity, equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI).

And our Values? Here’s how we are bringing our RISE Values to life …

OUR VALUES

Our RISE Values (Respect, Innovate, Shine, and Engage) are at the heart of everything we do. Colleagues nominate each other in each of the four areas for expressing our Values in tangible ways. Celebrating achievements through RISE Awards is just one way in which colleagues receive recognition.

Our people are supported through a comprehensive professional and personal training programme, with written SMART goals to help them succeed. 

Achieving work-life balance is also important, as is flexibility – hybrid working applies to over 90% of our roles. Our colleagues have the opportunity to contribute ideas and add their voice championed by the Employee Engagement Committee (EEC) responsible for charitable, social events and more.

The HM3 Legal team is expanding. Check out our latest roles here – we’re looking for people to join us at all levels, and in various teams.

Legal services which are the right fit for you

Whatever life throws at you, at some point you are likely to need a lawyer – it’s unavoidable. Common questions people ask solicitors are, “What will it cost?” or “How long will it take?” Understandably, they might worry about receiving a surprise bill for more than they expected. Some more traditional law firms might still work this way. HM3 Legal does not. Our friendly lawyers look out for and work for you, not the clock. We take the time to clearly explain every process and option in plain English, so the service is transparent and there are no runaway costs.

It’s very rewarding to legally guide clients through life’s milestones, like buying their first home, building a business, investing in company premises, or writing a will to protect everything that matters most to them. 

At HM3 Legal we offer joined-up legal advice for you an your business. Please contact us to find out more.
