Ashfords head of HR Ken Bryant talks to Legal Week Intelligence.
What is your firm doing to boost diversity and inclusion? “We have been very conscious of the routes into law discussion and related impact on our diversity profile. Last year we saw the first group of apprentices come into the firm. So we’re opening up the legal profession to people who are not only from different backgrounds, but are also making different study and financing choices in terms of whether they go into higher education, or alternatively start a career earlier. The other area we are looking at is female representation. We have a number of females being promoted this year and one of the challenges is to make sure that we continue to see increased female representation right the way through into partnership.”
