Global pressure on ESG compliance is intensifying and organisations can no longer treat ESG as a 'nice-to-have'. Our new article explores why firms should go beyond the basics: from transparent reporting and meaningful sustainability practices, to using ESG credentials as a differentiator for clients and talent. Now is the time for firms to ask: Is our ESG approach more than compliance - is it credible, integrated and future-proof? How do we embed sustainability into our operations, culture and hiring strategies? And are we positioned to compete on ESG terms, with clients, candidates and regulators increasingly expecting more?

A thoughtful reflection from Managing Director of our Spain office Alejandro Kress, Ph.D. on what harmony and collaboration really mean in a team setting. Adapting, listening and working with intention aren’t optional soft skills, they’re the foundations of effective leadership and performance. #LegalRecruitment #Leadership #LegalCareer

“En el escenario de la vida, acompasar nuestro #ritmo a los que nos rodean; es crear #armonía, es vivir la paz.” Esta ilustración preside mi #escritorio hace varios años. Tiene un estilo infantil y tonos suaves, aparecen cuatro personajes dibujados como muñecos o pequeños artistas: uno vestido de arlequín, una niña con un vestido claro, y dos personajes más pequeños -uno con gorro puntiagudo y otro con gorrito azul-. La imagen transmite una idea de #convivencia y armonía a través de figuras alegóricas. A partir del mensaje de la ilustación, se pueden extraer varias conclusiones valiosas sobre la convivencia y el #TrabajoEnEquipo, especialmente en entornos profesionales donde interactuamos con compañeros, jefes y subordinados: -#Adaptarnos no es renunciar a uno mismo, sino crear armonía. Ajustar nuestro ritmo a quienes nos rodean no implica perder identidad, sino sincronizarse para que el trabajo fluya. Igual que en una obra teatral o musical, cada persona mantiene su papel, pero el valor surge cuando todos entran a tiempo. -La #flexibilidad es una competencia estratégica. En equipos diversos -por carácter, formación o estilo de trabajo- la capacidad de adaptarse es uno de los activos más potentes. Ser flexible reduce fricciones, acelera la ejecución y permite que todos rindan mejor. Es algo bidireccional. -#Comprender al otro multiplica resultados. Cuando intentamos entender cómo piensa y trabaja la otra persona (sea jefe, compañero o subordinado), podemos anticiparnos, comunicarnos mejor y evitar malentendidos. Eso ahorra tiempo, energía y tensiones. -Dejar de lado hábitos personales facilita la #cohesión. A veces, pequeños hábitos o manías (formas de comunicar, de organizarse, de reaccionar) dificultan la colaboración. Renunciar a ellos en favor de un estilo más funcional no es una pérdida; es una inversión en eficiencia y clima laboral. -La armonía no es pasividad: es #InteligenciaEmocional. Mantener un ritmo común no significa callar o ceder siempre, o tolerar lo intolerable. Significa saber cuándo insistir, cuándo escuchar y cuándo acompañar. Esa habilidad genera confianza, respeto y mejora los resultados. -La #paz organizacional no es un estado "naïf", sino un indicador de salud. Equipos donde las personas se adaptan y respetan entre sí, se escuchan y se sincronizan, son equipos con menos conflictos improductivos, con más foco en los objetivos y mejor rendimiento. En general nada es fácil, callar rara vez resuelve los problemas. Pero a veces, un #GestoOportuno, una actitud abierta o un simple acompañamiento dicen mucho más que cualquier discurso. La verdadera armonía no siempre se construye con palabras, sino con #acciones que permiten crecer, que respetan, y suman. 😊 #acompasar #ritmo #armonia SSQ

Secondments are "gold dust" in the world of in-house law.

Tech regulation has become one of the world’s fastest-moving legal sectors, with governments from Washington to Brussels tightening rules around AI, data and digital assets. Some of the sharpest changes in hiring demand are now coming from the Middle East, as UAE fintech growth, new sandbox environments and major AI investment programmes in Saudi Arabia create a surge in demand for associates with TMT and financial-regulatory expertise. In a recent article, Ryan Sayeed from our Middle East team explores the forces driving this evolution and the opportunities it creates for associates and future partners.
