Diversity Statement 2021
Our Aims
We treat everyone equally and with the same attention, courtesy and respect regardless of:
- age
- disability
- gender
- marital status
- race, racial group, colour, ethnic origin or nationality
- religion or belief
- sexual orientation
- working pattern
We are opposed to all forms of unlawful or unfair discrimination. We seek to promote equality of treatment and opportunity in employment. We avoid unlawful discrimination in our dealings with each other, our clients and third parties. Selection for employment, promotion, training, or any other benefit is on the basis of individual aptitude and ability.
We are a signatory to the Law Society’s Diversity and Inclusion Charter.
Diversity Initiatives
We are continuing to focus our efforts on encouraging the clear aspirations of women and working parents and continuing our policy of flexible working. We conduct firm-wide diversity training on a 2 yearly basis.
Diversity Statistics
We regularly collect diversity data to allow us to monitor progress on our diversity and inclusion initiatives.
