Diversity at Freeths

Freeths are committed to giving everyone an opportunity to succeed, regardless of their background, race, colour, ethnic or national origin, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, pregnancy, disability, religion or belief, age, social background or part-time status. Find out more about their initiavitves below.

The firm's inclusive attitude and eagerness to try new things gives Freeths an edge in the legal field. For example, they pick our trainees and graduates based on their talent rather than the name of their university. From finding innovative ways of working to building trust in their varied clients, diversity underpins success at Freeths. Their aim is to attract, develop and retain the brightest lawyers in the UK from many walks of life.

Freeths is proud to be an equal opportunities employer, recently winning ‘Firm of the Year’ at the UK Diversity Legal Awards. They are also recognised for many other diversity initiatives such as:

• Mentoring schemes with local universities and colleges across the UK. Freeths have a partnership with Young Diverse World Changers where they have 50 mentoring partnerships supporting disadvantaged students into a career in law
• The Legal Scholarship scheme – a bursary and paid work experience at their Milton Keynes office
• The corporate social responsibility programme at Freeths which encompasses a wide range of fundraising initiatives for both local and national charities each year
