Diversity, inclusion and social matters
Our lawyers come from many different backgrounds.
We pride ourselves on our open, fair and inclusive office environment where individuality is nurtured and everyone is provided opportunities to reach their true potential. We strongly believe that promoting diversity and inclusion breeds creativity in teamwork and encourages a broader range of viewpoints, which in turn allows us to better serve our clients.
This philosophy is one of the key elements to our success.
Currently, our office’s partnership is 33% female and women account for 40 % of our overall workforce. Our workforce is also diverse with regard to religious beliefs and race. This is well above the industry average. We acknowledge that there is always room for further improvement in terms of gender balance, inclusion and representation as to race and ethnicity, sexual orientation, social background, age, disability and all other differences. In addition to specific recruitment targets, we have internal programs designed to help us make incremental progress towards achieving and maintaining a diverse workforce and a fair and inclusive work-environment.
Finally, we place great value on supporting local communities, social mobility projects and animal welfare. We have initiatives in place to offer pro-bono legal assistance to LGBT communities and disadvantaged local communities through a number of non-profit organisations and our firm offers pro-bono English language training to our administrative staff and their families.
