Diversity & Inclusion

Gordons Partnership is proud to be an inclusive workplace. Our culture embodies equality, diversity and inclusivity — enabling our team to thrive and ensuring our clients feel comfortable and respected throughout their interactions with us.

We are committed to recruiting, developing and supporting individuals from all backgrounds. We welcome people of all nationalities, ethnicities, cultures, religions, genders, ages, abilities and sexual orientations. Discrimination has no place at Gordons Partnership, and we actively work to ensure our practices reflect this.

Our goal is to ensure that our workforce is truly representative — reflecting the wide range of experiences, perspectives and ideas that strengthen our firm and improve the services we offer. We embed equality and fairness across our policies and processes — from recruitment and progression to the everyday culture of our teams.

Workforce Diversity at Gordons Partnership

Our firm comprises professionals across a broad range of roles, including equity partners, solicitors, legal support staff, corporate services and management. This variety reflects the depth of experience and breadth of skills that underpin our practice.

We are proud to have a multi-generational team, with representation across all age groups — from early-career professionals to senior leaders. This mix fosters a dynamic, collaborative and forward-thinking environment.

Gender Inclusivity

The majority of our team identify as women — approximately 69% of our workforce — and we maintain strong representation across all levels and functions. We also recognise and respect gender diversity beyond the traditional binary framework.

We are committed to ensuring fair and equitable treatment for all staff, regardless of gender identity. Pay decisions are based on qualifications and experience — not gender — and we continually review our practices to ensure fairness.

Disability & Health Inclusion

A portion of our team identifies as having a disability or health condition that may impact day-to-day activities. We provide support through reasonable adjustments, open dialogue and an accessible, inclusive culture.

Supporting the well-being of our team remains a core priority. We also raise awareness and offer resources on a wide range of health and well-being topics, including menopause, miscarriage, men’s health, sleep, nutrition and children’s mental health.

Ethnic & Cultural Background

Our workforce reflects a blend of ethnic and cultural backgrounds. We are proud to have representation across a range of religious beliefs, as well as among those with no religious affiliation. This diversity allows us to serve our clients with cultural awareness and a deep respect for individuality.

Social Mobility & Education

Over half of our team were educated in non-selective state schools, and a significant number are the first in their families to attend university. This reflects our ongoing commitment to promoting social mobility within the legal profession.

We strive to ensure that talent — not background — determines opportunity. We recognise the importance of creating pathways into the legal sector for individuals from all walks of life.

Caring Responsibilities & Work-Life Balance

Around 20% of our staff are parents or primary carers for children under 18, and approximately 10% have caring responsibilities for individuals with long-term health conditions or disabilities.

We recognise that family and home life are essential, and we support our team with flexible working arrangements and remote work options. We are committed to helping each individual achieve a healthy and sustainable work-life balance.

Our Ongoing Commitment

Gordons Partnership is dedicated to eliminating unlawful discrimination — in our workforce, our business, and in the wider community. We continue to review and develop our approach to diversity and inclusion in line with best practices and staff feedback.

We believe that a truly inclusive environment is built on shared values, active engagement and a willingness to listen. By doing so, we ensure that every person at Gordons Partnership feels valued, supported and empowered to succeed.
