Responsibility and Code of professional Conduct - the Code
Ascente is part of AGRD Partners, a next-generation legal services group focusing on innovation, technology and smart collaboration. Our approach to Governance reflects our collaborative and innovative culture. We think outside the box.
The provision of legal services is a matter of public trust. Clients, courts and society at large are entitled to expect that lawyers conduct themselves with integrity and a commitment to the rule of law – free from undue influence. These expectations are not diminished by changes in ownership, structure, or technology.
Recognising the importance of strong ethical standards, AGRD Partners Group AB has adopted this Code, which applies to employees in all firms joining AGRD Partners, regardless of jurisdiction. Where lawyers are subject to local bar association rules, those standards will continue to apply alongside or in place of this Code, depending on the circumstances.
The Code outlines the principles expected of a modern business law practice, serving clients in specialised, fast-paced, and commercially driven environments. It reinforces core values such as independence in judgement, loyalty, confidentiality, integrity, and adaptability.
