📣 We don’t mean to brag, but some news is worth shouting about. We’re pretty chuffed to announce that we’ve surpassed our diversity targets for female partners two years ahead of schedule. 🎉 Our goal was to increase the percentage of women partners to 33% by 2025, which we actually exceeded two years early in 2023 at 35.6%. Currently, women represent 39% of our total partnership. Over the past six months, we’ve welcomed seven new partners across the UK including Catherine Savage, Sarah Williams and Eileen Pathiraja, with women making up over half of these hires. 💪 We’re proud to have met other goals, such as increasing the number of declared disabled staff and partners to 11% and raising the proportion of team members from lower socio-economic backgrounds by 5%. This achievement is the result of years of dedicated effort from numerous people at Mills & Reeve. We extend our thanks to everyone involved for their hard work and commitment towards this. However, this is just the beginning. Our ambitious 2030 strategy aims to drive diversity and inclusion forward, building it into everything we do. We believe in hiring the best people for the job, and our increasingly diverse team is a testament to that commitment.
