Equality and diversity

We make sure every step is taken to determine that individuals are treated equally and fairly and that decisions on recruitment, selection, training, promotion and career development are based solely on the strength of ability, qualifications and experience.

Equality and diversity

Beale & Co prides itself on its inclusive nature. Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (“EDI”) is a central part of all that we do.  We recognise that our employees are our most valuable asset and that we must continue to recruit and retain a diverse and inclusive workforce.

Our dedicated EDI Partner, Joanna Lewis, the Head of ESG and the HR team lead our EDI programme. They meet regularly to keep our programme under review.

Our latest survey shows us that we are above average for law firms in the diverse nature of our workforce, for example in our employment rate of women at 55.29%. Please click on the following link to see a copy of our Diversity Statistics 2025.

To see a full overview of our approach to EDI, as well as an update on activity undertaken in 2024, you can read our latest Responsible Business Report here.
