Inclusive recruitment

Our inclusive culture
Diversity and inclusion aren't just buzzwords to us - they're values we actively embody in our everyday work. We're deeply committed to building an environment that celebrates the diversity of our people and reflects our core values: being human in our interactions, bold in our initiatives, and outstanding in our results.

We believe this approach not only strengthens our teams, but also sparks innovation and enhances our ability to understand and serve our clients effectively. This commitment is reflected in our Early Careers recruitment strategy where we strive to provide equal opportunities for all individuals to embark on their professional journey with us.

Adjustments and how to request them
We're recognised for our strong commitment to diversity and inclusion, which is mirrored in our recruitment process. We strive to eliminate barriers and ensure equal access to opportunities for all applicants.

We understand that individual needs vary greatly, and know that there isn't a "one size fits all" approach to adjustments. We take the time to understand your personal experience – whether that's around a visible or non-visible disability, being neurodivergent, and/or living with a long-term health condition or injury.

We're not just looking for great lawyers – we're looking for great people. People who are bold, outstanding, and human. People who can bring fresh perspectives and innovative ideas. If that sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you – visit our 'Apply' page to find out more or join us at one of our open days to experience our culture first-hand.

We're committed to making our recruitment process as inclusive and accessible as possible. If you'd like to discuss adjustments or have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch with our Early Careers team.
