Perspectives

Gender balance

We support gender balance programs in order to address and reduce unconscious bias in our decision making. We provide targeted leadership development for women, including coaching, mentoring and sponsorship, and we facilitate and strengthen professional networking through our women’s networks and diversity and inclusion committees.

Racial, ethnic and cultural diversity

We are committed to increasing the racial, ethnic and cultural diversity of our leadership, partnership and people across the global firm

Disability confidence

We are committed to removing assumptions, barriers and challenges faced by people with visible and invisible disabilities

Mental health

We are committed to creating a culture where mental health is understood without stigma and where everyone responds effectively to mental health problems to reduce the overall incidence of mental health issues and improve the wellbeing of our people.

LGBTIQ+ inclusion

We are committed to creating an inclusive environment where our lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTIQ+) professionals can progress and develop

Parents and carers

Many of us have responsibilities that require flexibility in our working patterns.   We are committed to supporting our working parents and working carers. 

Social mobility

We believe that the legal sector should be open to talent from all backgrounds and are committed to widening access and fostering a culture of social inclusion.
