Diversity, Equality and Inclusion at Addleshaw Goddard

At Addleshaw Goddard, we recognise the importance of nurturing an inclusive culture to help us attract, retain and enable our people to be the best they can be.

In 2020 we introduced a new, Board approved inclusion strategy, which included:

• Allocating senior leadership roles across 5 key strands of inclusion (Disability, Ethnicity, Gender, LGBTQ+ and Social Mobility), including senior partners and business services leads.

• The setting of targets for ethnicity and gender across our business.

• The setting of short-, medium- and long-term goals to keep us accountable.

Since 2020 we have kept our strategy under review to ensure that it remains ambitious and reflects the needs of our people.  And hope that this strategic approach will create greater equality within our firm and foster a greater sense of belonging amongst our people. 

Now in 2024, our commitment to DE&I remains firm.  We've invested heavily in our employee networks (which now have nearly 700 members) which include:

• Ability Forum (disability and carers)

• AG Embrace (race and ethnicity)

• OpenAG (LGBTQ+)

• The Vine (gender)

• Social Mobility Volunteers (social mobility)

We also have two faith networks (our Muslim and Jewish communities) which colleagues can join.
