Diversity Statistics
Shoosmiths is an Equal Opportunities Employer and we are proud of the diversity within our workforce. This was affirmed by the first survey of its kind undertaken by the Black Solicitors' Network (BSN) which measured diversity in the top 100 law firms; Shoosmiths topped this league table. The following is press statement by BSN:
The Top Ten
Taking all diversity classifications into account; ethnic minority (Asian, Black, Mixed and Chinese) and gender, across four different categories (partners, associates, trainees and paralegals), Shoosmiths emerged as the top ranking firm within the UK 100. They out-performed the competition in relation to their employment of female staff, ranking in first position for female paralegals and third position for the number of female partners and associates. Says Louise Hadland, Director of HR at national law firm Shoosmiths: "This survey completely endorses what we already knew: that Shoosmiths is different and better because of the superb mix of people who work here.''
