Case studies
We know an inclusive culture, alongside a diverse workforce, makes us more innovative and agile.
The ability to connect the dots and leap to inspired solutions can't be underestimated. We believe it’s this pioneering approach that unlocks a world of opportunity. It's what our clients value and it helps us to be the firm we want to be.
To get there, we’re committed to treating everyone with kindness and respect. And creating an environment where everyone feels empowered and supported to succeed, knowing they can make a meaningful contribution to our firm, whoever they are.
So, we work tirelessly to build a culture that makes it possible – possible for our people, our clients, and our communities. We stay curious and work in truly international teams. And by enabling our people to get the best out of themselves, we give our clients access to a whole world of expertise.
The shift to a more sustainable way of doing business needs people who embrace change and spark innovation. We’re up for the challenge, are you?
We are responsibly managing our offices, minimising waste and recycling wherever practical. We regularly donate expired and unused medication to Dubai Health Authority pharmacies to ensure correct disposal and keep the environment unharmed. Our offices have also been participating in Earth Hour since 2020 to raise awareness of the issues facing our planet.
This year we embarked on a five week journey through the Zero to Climate Hero Challenge to work towards reducing our carbon footprint. Rivers place a significant part in supporting wildlife, combating climate change and supplying drinking water, and so our team took part in the World River Run for World Environment Day.
The ability to help isn't always enough. In today's world, more often than not, what's needed is time. We believe pro bono is time well spent.
For us pro bono isn’t an add on. We are passionate about making a positive difference to people’s lives, and giving back to the communities we work within.
We have provided pro bono advice to members of the community in the DIFC and the Dubai Design District.
We believe in taking an active role in supporting our communities to make a difference.
We have participated in several CSR initiatives ranging from blood donations quarterly and for World Blood Donor Day, food and beverage distribution semi-annually at construction sites through the Feed-a-Labour campaign, Ramadan Iftar meals through Nefsy and the 100 Million Meals campaign, to supporting families with lost incomes during the pandemic in collaboration with the Stop and Help initiative for World Humanitarian Day.
Through our internal Clean Your Closet Campaign we collect and donate clothes to the Emirates Red Crescent Authority semi-annually. We create awareness amongst our team on numerous health issues such as for World Mental Health Day, women's health during Endometriosis Awareness Month, PINKtober for Breast Cancer Awareness Month and men’s physical and mental health through Movember. Furthermore, we joined the 21 Day Challenge for World Cancer Day committing to improve personal health.

Working at Bird & Bird
Before I joined Bird &Bird, I thought culture was one among several rudiments in a company’s ethos apart from vision, strategy, talent, etc. At Bird & Bird, I realised that culture isn't just one facet and that an organization is nothing more than the combined efforts of its people to create synergies.
