We believe we should aim for gender diversity within all teams and at every level of the firm – lawyers and business services.
Our core focus currently is to get better gender diversity, particularly within senior and leadership roles. Although more than half of our workforce are women, only 25% of Partners are currently women. Our challenge is to retain and promote the talent we have at the middle-layer of our career paths in both legal and non-legal roles, and bring people through to more senior positions, irrespective of gender.
