Diversity at BCLP:
At BCLP, we believe that Inclusion & Diversity (I&D) and Wellbeing enriches the fabric of our culture and makes us a stronger and better firm.

BCLP is proud to report that it is working to create an environment where all our employees are valued, motivated and able to be themselves. We continue to advance BCLP’s goal to be the most admired law firm, and having Inclusion, Diversity and WellBeing embedded across our global Firm is how we will reach our goal.
Inclusion and diversity is in our DNA; it shapes how we attract, recruit and develop our talent. We strive every day to create a workplace where every individual feels able to be themselves and can thrive. Taking a ‘inclusion first’ approach means that our workforce contribute their energy to the success of the firm, our clients and our communities.
