Our People

We believe it is critical for our people to be fully engaged in what they are doing and this is a key to our mutual success in the areas of Our People, Our Clients and Our Community. 

To create a great place to work where our people are inspired and encouraged to be the best they can be, we have developed a number of key initiatives: 

• Induction - To ensure a thorough introduction to the firm, all staff undergo a comprehensive induction program which includes an introduction to everyone in the office, training on our systems and procedures, as well as an overview of our library and research facilities, our document database and precedents.
• Ongoing Learning - Apart from on-the-job learning, all staff are encouraged to attend weekly Enhancing Success Program (ESP) seminars on topics relevant to their positions. These are in-house seminars conducted under the supervision of senior associates and partners on various topics of law and legislative changes, as well as other topics about our operations. We also invite external speakers to present seminars.
• Annual Employee Engagement Survey - To ascertain the level of satisfaction and engagement of employees and use these results to identify and drive positive change within the firm.
• Comprehensive Leadership & Development Program - To encourage and develop our people at all levels. This is an integrated and strategic program which reflects the values of the firm. Our firm incorporates:
  • Leadership Training
  • Mentoring Program
  • Legal Training
  • Postgraduate Study - Cornwall Stodart supports all lawyers in undertaking postgraduate studies relevant to their respective areas of practice. 
  • Technology Training - All interested staff are encouraged to attend our weekly Technology Training sessions to help them work more efficiently.
• Travel Opportunities - As a member of ALFA International, a legal network comprising over 130 member law firms with nearly 300 offices throughout the world, there is potential for our lawyers and graduates to be seconded to firms across the ALFA International network.
• Health & Wellbeing Program - We have a number of existing initiatives for all staff to promote general health and wellbeing. In addition to our core program, we incorporate a variety of seasonal programs designed to appeal to - and benefit - all staff.
