Team
Empowering each other, working together
We're not just colleagues, we're a community. We empower others and work together to achieve our shared goals for the long-term success of our business. We recognise each other's achievements. We support and motivate.
Perspectives
Shane Gleghorn, UK Managing Partner, explores the relationship between teamwork, high performance, and attracting great talent to the firm.
"I truly want to know and recognise the business, talent and vision of our clients, to achieve the best results in the most efficient way. Together, as a team."
Huub Stroom, partner, Netherlands
"Team means to stand as one in the face of a challenge. When I am faced with a challenge, I know that my team is behind me no matter what.
This doesn't always mean the challenge can be resolved easily – they rarely can. But it means I can rely on my team's ideas, time, and strength for the solution.
Never in my three years at Taylor Wessing have I met a challenge that could not be resolved along with my team."
Friedrich Goecke, Senior Associate, Germany
Framing 'Team'
Team in action
"At the beginning of Summer 2020, we had the opportunity to pitch for Dell France, a cross-practices pitch.
The unique team spirit that unites us allowed us to gather the best presentation of all Paris teams involved within a very short timing, and the UK business development team also helped us to gather elements about the UK strategy.
Thanks to the collective effort made towards one same goal, we won the pitch!"
Marcos Portela-Barreto, Counsel and Anne-Juliette de Zaluski, Partner, France
"Partner Maja Bolè worked on the Invesco case, together with Germany and the UK.
Not only was this a good example of international teamwork, but also collaboration within our own jurisdiction due to the multi legal services involved.
We have teamed up with Ubisoft and created 'Agile Legal Quest', a document suitable for all stakeholders and not only considers the 'what', but also the 'how' of Agile legal quest. You can view the tool here."
