Since our inception we have embraced flexible working as a core aspect of our business model, allowing our firm to work with a much more diverse range of lawyers. We also run a very successful training programme on diversity and inclusion for our clients and we practice what we preach. We work hard to foster equality and diversity and an inclusive firm where people from all backgrounds across gender, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation and disability can flourish. We always look for ways to challenge how we work and how we approach our ethical responsibilities to ensure diversity and inclusion stay at the top of our agenda.
