Social Mobility

Our social mobility strategy is a key part of how we work to reduce inequalities within the legal sector, improve the diversity of candidates we recruit and retain the best talent.

Work experience opportunities

The business case for greater socio-economic diversity in the workplace is clear – higher performing teams, better decision making and increased profitability. The moral case is equally powerful. We all want to live and work in a society where hard work and talent are what get you ahead, irrespective of background characteristics including socio-economic background.

We are the first major law firm to set social mobility targets. Setting targets for socio-economic diversity is a vital part of our commitment to be more intentional in our search for talent irrespective of background; and publishing them ensures we are accountable to deliver change.
