Diversity and inclusion

Expert legal advice for sensitive anti-discrimination matters

Anti-discrimination laws impose significant obligations on businesses, while discrimination itself can have significant implications for employee relations, recruitment and retention and a business's reputation.

Our lawyers are well equipped to advise on sensitive discrimination and inclusivity issues and to help you address emerging areas of diversity focus (in case law, legislation and more generally), with an understanding of your specific business and sector.

All the team members who I have worked with are thoughtful, articulate, and able to discuss tricky employment cases
