Taylor Wessing achieves Mansfield Rule UK certification and recommits participation for a third year

We are pleased to announce that we have achieved Mansfield UK Certification Plus, as we continue our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion within the legal sector.

Mansfield aims to increase and sustain diversity in leadership within law firms by broadening the pool of underrepresented lawyers who are considered for leadership positions and promotions. 

To achieve Mansfield UK Certification Plus, we have collaborated with Diversity Lab over a 12-month Certification Plus period with built-in measurement, transparency, and accountability mechanisms. This high level of transparency is part of our responsible business strategy to diversify our talent pool.

Sian Skelton, diversity and inclusion partner, said: "As one of the first firms to have piloted the scheme, we're proud to be continuing to measure our progress by participating in Mansfield. Building an inclusive, sustainable and equitable environment is paramount to help our people lead, learn and grow. Being responsible is not only one of our values, it's a core part of our strategic vision, governance structures and board discussions. The Mansfield Rule keeps us accountable for achieving and surpassing these goals to ensure that we can deliver excellence for our clients, people and the broader legal sector. We've seen positive changes from championing diverse voices across all areas of our business and we are committed to continuing this trajectory to nurture our talent now and in the future."
