Powell Gilbert LLP

Diversity

Our people are our most significant strength and we firmly believe that fostering an inclusive work environment, with equal opportunities, is key to our ongoing success. We aim to maximise the potential of every member of the team, promoting mutual respect and ensuring that they are seen as an individual first and foremost. They are supported and empowered to achieve, regardless of gender, ethnic origin, nationality, marital or civil partner status, sexual orientation, religion or belief, age, disability or socio-economic background. The gender ratio across the firm as a whole is approximately equal.  The Partnership is also diverse, in terms of gender, sexual orientation and ethnicity. Our staff are invited to participate in a Diversity Survey on an anonymous and voluntary basis.  The data, based only on those individuals who completed the survey, can be found on our website. We are proud to support IP Inclusive in the UK, an industry network which is dedicated to improving diversity in the IP professions, as well as ChIPs, a non-profit organization that advances and connects women in technology, law and policy.

CSR

The firm takes Corporate Social Responsibility seriously, working in partnership with Queens Park Community School and Careers Academies UK to provide mentoring to students aged 16 to 19 years. The firm provides pro bono legal advice to DACs (the Design and Artists Copyright Society - a leading UK copyright and collecting society for artists and visual creators).  We work with the society by providing pro bono legal services to artists caught up in copyright and licensing disputes.

Charities

Powell Gilbert is proud to support charitable initiatives for a variety of causes. We’re always keen to get involved and raise money, whether by dressing up, baking cakes or putting our running shoes on.
