A DYNAMIC AND DIVERSE CULTURE

We foster a culture of respect and belonging, where we encourage you to be yourself and contribute your perspective. In return, we ask you to be open and curious, respecting others' views and embracing different perspectives – and help us create an inclusive culture.

Working for systemic change

We’re known for our powerful commitment to diversity and inclusion, and our many ‘firsts’ and awards. Our people run a wide variety of diversity networks, providing firm-wide and client networking opportunities and events. Our networks include Women Lawyers, Women in Business Services, HSF Ability, Family, LGBT, Military, and Multiculturalism, which celebrates diverse ethnicity, religion, faith and culture. We were one of the first law firms to commit to global gender targets publicly, and are among the top-five international firms for proportion of women in the partnership.

Our future is about continuing to work so that our firm – and the legal profession – is more inclusive and representative of broader society. This means reflecting the diversity of our clients, ensuring inclusion is innate in our mindsets and how we lead – and using this to foster innovation, collaboration, and personal and business and success.
