Paragon Law

We are committed to being an equal opportunities employer and are proud that our colleagues are as diverse as the clients in which we represent. As a firm which is dedicated to helping some of the most vulnerable members of society, it is fundamental that our clients and colleagues are treated equally regardless of their gender, age, disability, race, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, or marital status.

Our most recent diversity report showed how we exceed industry averages in most categories. In the legal industry, on average 49% of employees are women, 21% are from a BAME background and 3% are a member of the LGBTQ+ community. However, Paragon Law’s statistics are far greater than industry standards with 75% of employees being women, just under 50% coming from a BAME background and 14% being a member of the LGBTQ+ community. At Paragon Law, the SLT reflects this diversity with 56% being women and 56% being from a BAME background. Through creating a welcoming and inclusive environment with plenty of room for progression regardless of one’s identity it has meant that Paragon Law has many long-standing employees – with a quarter of the firm’s employees having been at the firm for over 10 years
