Results from the Count Me In UK campaign
T hank you to everyone who supported the UK’s Count Me In Campaign, which sought to increase our demographic data completion in anticipation of our biennial mandatory reporting to the Solicitors Regulation Authority and other D&I reporting commitments. As a result of this campaign, we had a 12% increase in the average UK self- ID completion rate, which is great result.

I n October each year the UK month with two successful Clyde’s Carnival events in our Manchester and London offices. Celebrating this year’s theme of ‘Saluting Our Sisters’, some of our colleagues also shared a number of great blog posts celebrates Black History Month, and this year we marked the about Black women who inspire them.

Update on our female representation targets
A s of 1 May 2023, we have exceeded our global target of a 35% representation of female Equity Partners and equivalents by 2025, specifically hitting this target in the UK. We have also met our Legal Director female representation targets in the UK and are 1% away from meeting our global 50% target.
However, we are aware that further progress is required in respect of our Senior Equity Partner female representation, and is an area that we are committed to improving.
