Simmons retains crown as Stonewall's most gay-friendly firm

Whilst it's good to read that Simmons can achieve one milestone amongst its ever increasing issues of poor performance and lost talent. The fact is, as a client facing multi-million pound law suits, I would be only focussed on how Simmons could minimise or even eradicate my legal risk (among other risk classes). If a client was in s scenario of a breach of contract, dispute resolutions, £bn securities issues, I can assure you, this award is last on their list....past track performance is what counts. Simmons always does this to smokescreen the fact that it is in a dire state at the moment. The firm should focus on driving billings, retain and recruit talent, publicise its involvement in large deals or, cases that were impossible to navigate through yet, its involvement and expertise helped clients. No doubt we'll probably see some CSR award being advertised by Simmons shortly...again, totally irrelevant, but their attempt to possibly distract from its real concerns.
