Joseph Hage Aaronson LLP

At Joseph Hage Aaronson our commitment to diversity and inclusion, responsible businesses, and having a positive impact on our community is entrenched in our culture. This is reflected in our firm values of commitment, inclusiveness, creativity, and integrity.

We believe a diverse and inclusive community encourages a stimulating, rewarding and inventive working environment. For these reasons, we are committed to creating a welcoming workplace in which all our people can thrive, regardless of their characteristics, beliefs, and preferences. We monitor diversity statistics to ensure that our practices are fair and non-discriminatory. This means we are best positioned to continue to provide our clients with a first-class service.

Our pro bono work, sponsorships, and charitable giving enable us to help and support individuals and organisations with limited access to resources and opportunities. It also means our people can share their experience and expertise in support of causes which can have a positive and lasting impact on our community.

The two main charities we support are Access2Justice and the children’s charity Variety. Access2Justice provides legal services support to those who need it the most, particularly the ill, injured and economically disadvantaged. Variety helps to change the lives of children throughout the UK who are sick, disabled or underprivileged, through providing specialist coaching, equipment or experiences, and by supporting hospitals and youth centres.

We also encourage many of our employees to actively support their own charitable initiatives and we make financial contributions to their chosen causes.

JHA is a passionate supporter of the arts and is involved in many initiatives that support artists and nurture new talent in the art world. Education is also a key focus and we sponsor educational programmes and training.

The firm supports staff in providing pro bono support or undertaking voluntary work. All solicitors and barristers at JHA are given an allowance of 40 hours from their working year to participate in either voluntary or pro bono work. Employees in support functions can devote 20 hours of working time to voluntary work each year.
