The Firm’s dedication and commitment to creating a workplace where everybody can succeed comes from the top and it is also lived by its people, who champion ID&E efforts across the globe. The Firm has a number of affinity groups in place within local offices and globally to support employees, champion initiatives and work with clients on ongoing ID&E projects.
Some of the initiatives recently introduced by the Firm’s London office include:
- The introduction of specialised open days, each focused on a different diversity group. We were the first firm to take this approach and it has been instrumental in increasing the diversity of our future talent pool
- The Firm’s London Affinity Groups (covering LGBTQ+, Women, Wellbeing, Ethnicity and social mobility) are leading the charge in terms of our ID&E initiatives in London and provide a safe space for our people
- Launching BEGINNINGS at Baker McKenzie, an 18 month social mobility focused development scheme for year 12 students interested in a career in law.
- Launching the second cycle of the BakerEthnicity group’s Talent Incubator, a client collaboration initiative which develops professional skills, knowledge and mentoring relationships between our ethnic minority talent and key clients
- Sponsoring the Black British Business Awards, which were founded by Baker McKenzie alumna Sophie Chandauka, to celebrate the exceptional performance and outstanding achievements of Black professionals and entrepreneurs.
- Launching the fourth intake of Return-ity (a parental and return-to-work scheme) with clients and internal participants, to ease the transition back to work
