Tailored Equality, Diversity and Inclusion training and support for legal services organisations, including workplace culture, inclusive recruitment, accessibility, leadership and client experience.
Tailored Equality, Diversity and Inclusion training and support for legal services organisations, including workplace culture, inclusive recruitment, accessibility, leadership and client experience.
We provide practical Equality, Diversity and Inclusion training and support for legal services organisations, including law firms, legal teams, managers, HR and people teams, partners and other professionals working with colleagues and clients.
Equality and inclusion can affect workforce culture, decision-making, accessibility, leadership and the experience of the people your organisation serves.
Support respectful professional relationships and responses to discrimination, harassment, exclusion and inappropriate behaviour.
Consider barriers and bias across recruitment, allocation of opportunities, development, promotion and progression.
Explore communication, disability access, reasonable adjustments and other factors affecting client experience.
Connect EDI with leadership behaviour, management, professional standards and accountability.
Solicitors, barristers, legal executives and other legal professionals, partners and senior leaders, managers, HR and people teams, business services staff, trainees and early-career professionals, and client-facing teams.
You may already know the training topic you need, or you may be exploring a wider EDI issue. We can help identify an appropriate starting point and tailor support to the roles, responsibilities and context involved.
Support can range from a single training session to a programme for different staff groups, or wider work reviewing EDI priorities, policies and organisational practice.
There is no single EDI course that every organisation in this sector needs. We can help you choose training based on your people, existing knowledge, priorities and the situations they encounter in practice.
A practical foundation covering equality, discrimination, protected characteristics, bias and inclusive practice.
Explore fair recruitment, selection, accessibility and bias in decision-making.
Strengthen understanding of sexual harassment, prevention and appropriate responses.
Explore racism, racial inequality, bias and practical anti-racist action.
Explore disability inclusion, barriers, reasonable adjustments and accessibility.
Connect inclusive leadership with culture, decision-making and accountability.
We can develop programmes that bring together different EDI topics for different audiences, connecting learning with leadership, service delivery, workforce practice and wider organisational priorities. Content can be adapted to your setting and delivered face-to-face or online via Zoom or Teams.
For SRA-regulated firms and solicitors, relevant professional duties sit alongside equality law; other legal professionals may operate under different regulatory frameworks. Training can therefore be tailored to the organisation rather than treating regulation as a generic compliance checklist.
Support can extend beyond training. We can help review current practice, strengthen your EDI approach and identify practical priorities for further development.
Explore policies, practice, culture and available evidence to identify strengths, potential barriers and areas for development.
Consider how equality and inclusion are reflected in relevant policies and everyday practice.
Develop practical priorities and actions aligned with your organisation and wider responsibilities.
Use follow-up training, review and support to build on progress and respond to emerging priorities.
The Equality Act 2010 provides an important framework for equality and discrimination in employment and services. Legal professionals and organisations may also be subject to professional or regulatory duties depending on their role and regulator. EDI training supports understanding and good practice but does not replace legal advice or regulator-specific compliance guidance.
Good EDI practice is broader than legal compliance. It also involves culture, accessibility, representation, belonging, communication and whether people can access services, participate and progress without unnecessary barriers.
Where formal legal advice is required about a specific situation or obligation, appropriate specialist legal advice should be obtained.
Whether you need a single training course, a programme for different teams or wider support with your EDI approach, tell us what you are trying to achieve and we can discuss an appropriate way forward.
