Diversity

 
Applying to join Chambers? Complete our Equality and Diversity Questionnaire here.

 

Chambers recruits staff, pupils and new tenants on the basis of ability and welcomes candidates irrespective of sex, race, disability, sexual orientation, age or religion.  We are pro-active in the fields of Equality and Diversity and came top of the Black Solicitors Network Diversity League Table. A number of members of Chambers have served over the years on the Bar Council Equality and Diverstiy Committee including as Vice-Chair. We contributed to the Bar Council Equality and Diversity Code, and our training models have been adopted for training by the Bar and the Judicial Studies Board.

Our procedures reflect the Equality and Diversity Code for the Bar we monitor our intake for disability, ethnicity and gender. We train our barristers and staff in proper procedures to ensure equality and diversity. We actively encourage applications from practitioners who have previous experience in other fields, especially fields related to our work areas such as forensic accountancy or medical professionals.

More detailed diversity data on Chambers membership is available by contacting Fiona Robb.

Where appropriate, we ensure that our barristers are familiar with clients' policies when instructed to act on their behalf e.g. CPS Instructions for Prosecuting Advocates and the New Code for Crown Prosecutors. As leaders in Personal Injury we set as a high priority the need to ensure access to all visitors, clients and members of Chambers who may be disabled in some way, and 9 Gough Square has full wheelchair access.

Members of Chambers have been involved in Diversity training for the Bar. If you require help with Diversity training then please contact Fiona Robb or Susan Belgrave.


We are also fully committed to social mobility and are proud to be a member chambers of the Pegasus Access Scheme.  For more information about this scheme see http://www.pegasus.me
