Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

Legalstone is built around the belief that different perspectives, experiences and ways of thinking strengthen the way we work

The matters we support can involve different people, businesses, cultures, jurisdictions and circumstances. Bringing together individuals with different backgrounds, disciplines and perspectives helps us question assumptions, understand situations more fully and approach problems from different angles. We want Legalstone to be a place where people are respected as individuals, able to contribute with confidence and given the opportunity to develop based on their ability, judgement and potential. As we build our internal team and wider professional network, we remain open to talent from different backgrounds and routes into professional life. Valuable experience does not always follow the same path, and we believe different disciplines, experiences and perspectives can each bring something important to the work we do.

Building an inclusive culture

For us, inclusion is reflected in how people are treated, how opportunities are created and how we work with one another. We expect everyone working with Legalstone to treat colleagues, clients and other professionals with respect, fairness and professionalism. We want people to feel able to contribute ideas, challenge thinking constructively and bring their own perspective to the work without unnecessary barriers. These principles extend beyond our internal team. Our multidisciplinary model means we work with a wider network of solicitors, barristers, consultants, researchers, analysts, experts and other professional advisers. As those relationships develop, we want them to reflect the same standards of respect, opportunity and professional integrity. Legalstone is continuing to grow, and so will our approach. We intend to keep our working practices, recruitment and professional relationships under review as the business develops, with the aim of building an organisation where different perspectives are valued, opportunity is fair and everyone is able to contribute at their best.
