Trowers & Hamlins are not interested in “identikit” lawyers but we are passionate about excellent client service. So, we want to attract and keep the best and most diverse talent. Lawyers with diverse backgrounds and identities progress and thrive at T&H.
Our senior and managing partners are women. Women comprise 42% of our partnership, which also includes lawyers who are 1st gen university educated, BAME, out LGBTQ+, who may have caring responsibilities, with neurologically and physically diverse abilities and many backgrounds, faiths and nationalities. Our gender pay gap and staff retention rates are among the best of any city and international law firm.
We actively reach out to underrepresented groups through our social mobility activity and our vibrant Trowers Includes programme and networks.
As a founder partner, Aspiring Solicitors remains integral to our commitment to a more diverse legal profession.
We know there is always more to do, but we’re proud of our friendly and open-minded culture where we encourage everyone to bring their whole and best self to work.
‘TrowersIncludes – Equity, Diversity and Inclusion’
Trowers & Hamlins is proud of its diverse workforce and our commitment to equality and diversity is formalised into a powerful initiative known as “TrowersIncludes”, which runs through life at Trowers. TrowersIncludes brings together a network of groups made up of partners, fee-earners and support staff across all of our global offices and champions a range of diversity and inclusion initiatives. Our 10 employee networks are based on the protected characteristics as defined in the Equality Act 2010 (including gender, disability, race, religion and sexual orientation) and drive a full calendar of events as well as awareness raising on relevant issues.
The ED&I committee meets regularly and comprises the chair of each network as well as key individuals from across the business. In addition to working on specific projects, the Committee monitors and reviews the firm’s approach to equality and diversity in order to maintain a diverse and inclusive working environment.
