Equality, Diversity & Inclusion

We are firmly committed to fostering equal opportunities in the workplace, cultivating an inclusive professional environment, upholding respect for diversity, and actively working to eliminate unlawful discrimination.

Our people are central to our success, and we believe that a diverse workforce strengthens our firm and enhances our collective capabilities.

Our Approach

All applicants are afforded equal consideration regardless of age, disability, gender identity, marital or civil partnership status, pregnancy or maternity, race, ethnic origin, colour, nationality, religion or belief, sex, or sexual orientation.

We maintain a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of discrimination, harassment, bullying, or victimisation directed at employees or third parties working with or on behalf of the firm.

Our Commitment

We are proud signatories of the IP Inclusive Charter and fully endorse its six core commitments:

• Appointment of a designated EDI Officer
• Implementation of a firm-wide EDI policy
• Transparency in recruitment and career development processes
• Training to raise awareness of unconscious bias
• Monitoring progress and evaluating success internally
• Sharing best practices across the IP community

Our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Officer is Holly Whitlock.

By embedding these principles into our recruitment processes, organisational culture, and day-to-day interactions, we strive to create a working environment in which all individuals feel valued, respected, and empowered to realise their full potential.
