Diversity and inclusion

We all bring different backgrounds, strengths and perspectives to the team

Creating a diverse and inclusive team

We help every team member to thrive

One of our global values is: we all bring something different. So, being an inclusive and diverse workplace is hugely important to us, and makes us more relevant and valuable to our clients. We want to enable, encourage and support everyone to be themselves and realise their potential. We understand the power that diverse perspectives and experiences bring to the firm and are taking actions to increase representation of underrepresented groups and to build a continued culture of inclusion.

Our Inclusion for All D&I strategy through to 2026, brings this to life. We want all of our people to feel included but importantly recognise that everyone has a role to play in achieving this. That's why all of our teams across the firm have an annual Inclusion for All action plan, that details the work they are going to do within their teams to move us towards our goals. This is in addition to the work we do at a firmwide level.

Our employee networks

We have several employee networks, there to raise awareness and educate, provide opportunities for networking and create a safe space for our people to share any concerns. Each network has two board sponsors and guidance from our D&I team and are open to everyone.

Diversity and inclusion FAQs

Promoting gender equality through our Thrive network

Our Thrive network is driving the practices we need to achieve gender equality. It provides internal and external events and convenes roundtables and discussion groups to feedback on issues affecting both genders that will help lead to improved gender balance. Thrive aims to contribute towards increasing the number of women in partnership and management roles. We have set a target of achieving 30% female partners by 2026.
