diversity

To us diversity goes beyond ensuring equal opportunities. It is about recognising the strengths and qualities unique to you and ensuring you have the same encouragement to learn, to further your career; to be treated fairly; with dignity and respect regardless of race, colour, nationality, ethnic or national origins, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, religion or religious belief, age or disability.  Some examples are;

• being positive about disabled people, being Job Centre two ticks scheme accredited
• supporting working mums-to-be through the Tommy’s pregnancy accreditation scheme
• ensuring access to development for all our people is taken seriously, recognising that our strength stems from our people; reflected in our long standing IIP status and industry awards
• transparent approach to diversity, proudly publishing our annual diversity statistics and benchmarking across the legal industry
• regular auditing pay, promotion and demographics; our equal pay and diversity audit is now in its 8^th consecutive year
• working with local schools to promote legal careers for those with underprivileged backgrounds
• promoting work in the local communities to educate against stereotypes
• equal opportunities promoted to our suppliers, including recruitment agencies
