More time for you.

At Forbes, we see AI as a tool that helps us strengthen what matters most: our relationships with clients.

By reducing time spent on routine and administrative tasks, AI gives our people more time to listen, understand, advise and support. More time for client care. More time for conversations. More time for building trusted relationships.

This isn't about replacing expertise with technology. The knowledge, judgement and care our colleagues bring will always be at the heart of the service we provide. AI simply helps us work more efficiently behind the scenes, so we can focus even more on our clients.

In this video, our Managing Partner, Pauline Wild, explains our More time for you approach and how we're using AI thoughtfully and responsibly to enhance client care and improve the client experience.

This , we're recognising the importance of creating a workplace where colleagues feel supported, understood and able to have open conversations.

At Forbes, we know that menopause affects everyone differently, which is why we're committed to raising awareness and helping to break down the stigma that can still surround it. Our Menopause Champion, Amanda Martland, draws on her own experience to support colleagues across the firm, provide a listening ear and help foster greater understanding of menopause in the workplace.

By sharing experiences, supporting one another and encouraging open dialogue, we can continue to build an authentic, united and exceptional culture where everyone feels valued and empowered.

Baby loss changes lives forever.

Many parents speak about the small memories they carry with them every day. The moments may be brief, but the love never disappears.

Today, we remember every baby and every family carrying their memory forward.

After a traumatic loss, many families tell us they are left with unanswered questions.

For some, understanding what happened helps bring a sense of clarity. For others, it can provide reassurance that lessons may be learned for the future.

Every family deserves honesty, compassion and answers to their questions.

Grief doesn't follow a timeline.

For families affected by baby loss, everyone's experience is unique. There is no right way to remember, no right way to cope and no right way to heal.

What matters is knowing you are not alone.

This year's theme focuses on lived experiences being heard and creating meaningful change.

Many of the families we support tell us they knew something wasn't right.

They asked questions, raised concerns and sought reassurance, yet often felt unheard during some of the most difficult moments of their lives.

If a healthcare experience has left you searching for answers, understanding what happened can be an important part of moving forward.

This week, we are recognising and remembering every baby gone too soon.

For many families, grief lasts far beyond the days immediately following a loss. Behind every statistic is a child who is loved, remembered and deeply missed.

Throughout the week, we'll be sharing reflections, resources and stories that highlight why remembrance, support and understanding matter.

We're Gold. 🏅

Forbes Solicitors has achieved Investors in People Gold Accreditation.

Achieving Gold places us among a select group of organisations recognised for creating a workplace where people can thrive, develop and perform at their best. But what makes this achievement truly special is what sits behind it: our people.

This recognition is based on the experiences and feedback of colleagues from across the firm. The assessor described Forbes as a ‘high-performing organisation with an engaged workforce, effective leadership and a positive culture that provides a strong platform for sustainable success’.

At Forbes, we're more than law, we're about people, partnership and going further for each other and our clients. This accreditation reflects the values we share, the relationships we build and the environment we've created together.

Thank you to every colleague across the firm for the dedication, professionalism and commitment you bring every day.
