Our ethics and values

Our ethics govern our attitudes and actions. They reflect our distinctive character as a law firm and government business serving predominantly public sector clients.

Our ethics are integral to the way AGS employees work together. Our shared commitment to AGS operating as an ethical business strengthens us and what we offer to our clients.

Our core values are:

integrity, which requires us to be honest and impartial in our dealings with others
professionalism, which demands excellence in working with our clients and interacting with the legal system
collegiality, which necessitates our working collaboratively as one national team sharing our knowledge
commitment to the public good, which inspires us in what we do.

By acting in accordance with these values, we earn the respect of, and show respect for, our clients, our colleagues, our shareholders, the legal system and the public at large.

Our ethics and values are put into practice through the AGS Code of Conduct which sets out the principles and rules of conduct that guide our people in high professional and ethical standards required of them. The code is supported by a network of ethics advisers who are available to assist employees in dealing with ethical and professional concerns.
