Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Slater Heelis recognise that everyone is unique. As a business, we believe that embracing diversity is key to success. We want to create a culture where a diverse group of people can bring the best of themselves to their careers, to build an environment where everyone feels supported and where difference is valued. Our aim is to help remove some of the social barriers to joining our business, either as a lawyer or in any of the support functions, to ensure we attract the best talent from all backgrounds. We are challenging ourselves to support and promote diversity within our teams and to ensure that we nurture inclusivity for everyone. We encourage cooperation and teamwork, providing fair, ethical treatment of all employees. This commitment is also true in the provision of services to our clients. The firm is committed to developing and implementing best practice in equality, diversity and inclusion as employers; providers of legal services; purchasers of goods and services; and in their wider role in the community. All employees, and those acting on behalf of the firm, are required to adhere to the firm’s equality and diversity policy which covers employees, clients and third-party suppliers. We are also the first law firm to be accredited by the LGBT foundation, which is a testament to our dedication to making our workplace somewhere everyone can thrive.

Supporting our communities To celebrate our 250th anniversary of service at Slater Heelis, we are encouraging all our employees to take a paid day away from the office to volunteer with a range of local charities and organisations, from supporting local young people in the community, helping out at food banks and donating our time to helping with deliveries, collections and gardening to name a few.
