We are committed to embedding responsibility, sustainability and charitable values for our people, our clients and our UK community. We strive to lead in environmentally sustainable business practices; in serving an array of not-for-profit charities; and in supporting individuals in their volunteering efforts.
Diversity & Social Inclusion.
We are a signatory to the Law Society’s Diversity and Social Inclusion Charter. We believe that this commitment to diversity and social inclusion is essential to reflect the society we serve. The firm is made up of exceptional lawyers who are practising solicitors and barristers supported by high quality paralegals, legal apprentices and other legal support staff.
We are a City of London law firm that values diversity and inclusivity and have seen first hand the dynamic and innovative work environment that arises from different races, ethnicity, generations, experience and backgrounds.
We thrive as a firm on diversity and our inclusive culture enables us to craft innovative solutions for ourselves and our clients.
We are an equal opportunities employer and treat people equally regardless of their racial group, colour, ethnic or national origin, nationality, religion or belief, age, gender, sexual orientation, disability or marital status.
We also have policies on part-time and flexible working arrangements which support our people with family commitments and encourage diversity, learning and development.
In line with our commitment to Social Inclusion we are one of the first City of London law firms to employ young people as Legal Apprentices in conjunction with CILEx Law School. For more information about our Legal Apprenticeships please visit lexlaw.co.uk/careers/legal-apprentices.
