Why Moores?

“I always knew I wanted to use my talent and expertise to do good. I firmly believe that we should all try to leave the world a little nicer than how we found it. I was therefore so delighted to find my place at Moores, where I can use my legal expertise to support our wonderful clients to do good in their own communities. I feel so privileged to have a job that lets me practice law in a way that is closely aligned to my own values.”
