UK Diversity ProfileThese are the five pillars of our global D&I strategy:
Accountability
We hold ourselves accountable with ambitious, attainable metrics by identifying external and internal goals to guide our progress, and by educating and inspiring all of our people to make meaningful investments in their colleagues.
Processes
Institutional change is our focus as we implement work allocation and other processes to ensure work and pitch opportunities are equally allocated to underrepresented lawyers.
Recruitment & retention
We want the best and brightest talent at all levels, and will take a holistic approach to get there from briefing our recruiters on our expectations for diversity to providing billable credit hours for D&I activities to providing mentoring and sponsorship.
Culture
Individuals are the bedrock of our culture. We make available training on bias and inclusive leadership and empower allyship to ensure everyone feels they belong and can contribute as their authentic selves.
Clients
Providing excellent client service is what we do at Hogan Lovells. We enhance that service through partnering with our clients on mutually beneficial D&I initiatives and providing consulting services to strengthen their D&I initiatives.
