DIVERSITY

Blaser Mills Law has a strong commitment to creating a diverse workforce.

Our goal is to attract the best talent and create an outstanding working environment that people want to be part of and remain with throughout their careers.

Overview

The people at our firm come from a range of backgrounds which we embrace. We treat everyone equally, regardless of gender, race, colour, religion, nationality, ethnic origin, age or sexual orientation. Moreover, we pride ourselves on our flexible working for employees to accommodate wide-ranging personal circumstances. All our offices are accessible and we agree reasonable adjustments with colleagues where applicable.

The Solicitors’ Regulation Authority (SRA) requires us to collect information on our workforce based on an Equality, Diversity and Inclusion survey, and publish certain information from the survey. In accordance with the SRA guidelines, please find below a summary of the firm’s diversity data, including statistics relating to age, gender, ethnicity and disability:
