Speaking on investing in human talent, Managing Partner Sharon Beesley said:
“At BeesMont Law, we recognise that an important driver of our success is our people. The pandemic has served to re-focus our attention on the need to demonstrate the value we place on our staff and that this value extends beyond financial profits, and attaches to our core values – ethics, professionalism and acknowledgement of the inherent worth of individuals as human beings. As a hybrid
law firm where attorneys regularly work remotely and administrative staff operate independently, there is considerable merit in recognising talent for being accountable and espousing our values. When we put these values into practice, our client-focused advisory business thrives and so does our culture. I want to congratulate all of those appointed and promoted at BeesMont Law and thank them for their dedication to our organisation and their teamwork.”
