As a global firm, we know how important it is to understand and respect each other's cultures. Within our UK offices, we have people from over 20 different nationalities, speaking at least 16 different languages.
Our cultural diversity network was set up so that we can learn from each other and celebrate our cultures. It works to encourage more individuals from diverse backgrounds to enter the legal sector and achieve their full potential.
The network is chaired by partner Tandeep Minhas.
Our firm will stand up to racism and racial inequality.
We must ensure concrete actions and progress follow, against which we can measure ourselves and in turn will be measured. That's why we've developed a dedicated race and ethnicity strategy.
We provide a multi-faith room for prayer or quiet contemplation, which is used by colleagues from over six different religious groups.
