Diversity & Inclusion

Our Diversity and Inclusion Plan

Fair and Equitable Policies and Processes 

Ensuring that our internal processes are fair and consistent and providing equal opportunities.

Inclusive and Visible Leadership 

Helping our leaders and colleagues integrate inclusiveness into what they do and how they do it.

Inclusive Culture 

Empowering colleagues to be themselves at work, be active allies, and feel comfortable raising concerns. 

Client Experience

 Proactively engaging clients on D&I, sharing best practice, and providing clear information about our approach and performance. 

Inclusive Communities

Drive alignment between network groups, volunteering, and Early Careers priorities to support underrepresented young people.

Our D&I networks

All colleagues are welcome to join our D&I networks and their events, which feed into our D&I Board and strategy. It’s a great way to increase understanding as active allies by promoting conversation and sharing ideas and resources, which helps embed inclusion into everything we do and helps guide our decisions about policy development.

Increasing the diversity of our workforce

We’re committed to improving the diversity of our workforce, so that it mirrors the communities we serve. As part of this, we’re one of the Foundation Law Firm Participants in the UK Model Diversity Survey, are members of Inclusive Employers, and work with organisations such as Evenbreak and Aspiring Solicitors to amplify our job postings to underrepresented groups.
