Working at Bristows - Diversity

We understand and respect the broad range of visible and non-visible differences that characterise people. We also recognise the benefits that those differences bring to us as a firm.

We will not discriminate on the grounds of race, gender, disability, nationality, religion, age, marital status, ethnic origin, gender reassignment, sexual orientation, political belief, socio-economic background, or any other irrelevant factor and will build a culture that values meritocracy, openness, fairness and transparency.

All employees, whether part-time, full-time or temporary, will be treated fairly and with respect. Selection for employment, promotion, training or any other benefit will be on the basis of aptitude and ability. All employees will be helped and encouraged to develop their full potential and the talents and resources of the workforce will be fully utilised.

Behaviour, actions or words that transgress the policy will not be tolerated and will be dealt with in line with the firm's disciplinary policy.

All employees are responsible for the promotion and advancement of this policy. Our aim is to encourage diversity amongst our workforce, which will be representative of all sections of society so that each employee feels respected and able to give his or her best, thus creating a mix of talent.

This policy will be reviewed on an on-going basis to reflect changes in the law and best practice.
