We have published our third annual Social Mobility Pay Gap Report, as part of our efforts to set the benchmark for transparency, accountability and action on social mobility within the legal industry. The report presents a comprehensive analysis of different aspects of social mobility as they relate to the firm.
In publishing this report, our aim is to help start meaningful conversations within the legal community and spearhead change to eliminate disparities. By embracing transparency and actively engaging in this vital discussion, we hope to encourage other organisations to become more open about social mobility within their workforces.
"We want to ensure that talented individuals from all
walks of life have the opportunity to thrive at Lewis Silkin. We
know there's more work to do, but our commitment to advancing
social mobility within our firm and across the legal sector remains
unwavering."
Jo Farmer, Joint Managing Partner
"Publishing this report is about more than
data—it's about driving real change. We're proud to
be transparent, but even more determined to take action that opens
up the legal profession to talent from every
background."
Tom Heys, Pay Reporting Lead
