Tapestry Compliance
Tapestry is an award-winning boutique law firm specialising in UK and global executive and employee share schemes and incentives. We have shown that it is possible to establish a firm where lawyers get to work with some of the world’s biggest clients, and lead on stimulating and challenging work, in a more flexible way.
We have allowed hybrid working arrangements well before they were commonplace. Employees are not excluded from progressing with their careers due to personal circumstances or life choices. Traditional structures can indirectly discriminate against those taking career breaks or working part-time. At Tapestry, since becoming employee-owned in 2020, all employees are fully engaged with the business, allowing us to further challenge traditional approaches; part-time working extends to the most senior levels.
We recruit and retain the very best people from a diverse range of backgrounds, recognising that they are our key asset. The nature of our global work ensures we strive to understand and value cultural differences.
Our workforce is majority female, and 79% of our legal advisors are women; 66% of our top leadership team and 57% of our business leads are female. A higher proportion of our workforce is classed as having a significant disability than other law firms (around 3 times as many) and we are also proud to reflect socio-economic diversity in our team, with 62% coming from a family where neither parent attended university and the number of our employees who attended fee-paying schools is less than half the national average for the legal profession.
We ensure that all appointments for the firm are made on merit. As we continue to expand our business, our aim is to attract talented individuals regardless of their beliefs or background. We treat all our people fairly, promoting best practice in recruitment, retention and career progression, and are committed to a working culture that is fair and inclusive.
Tapestry complies with Equal Opportunities legislation and Codes of Practice and does not conduct or condone any unlawful discrimination.
