Equality and Diversity

Stephens Scown is committed to eliminating unlawful discrimination and to promoting equality and diversity in all our professional dealings with clients, staff and partners, other solicitors, barristers, and third parties.

We shall treat everyone equally and with the same attention, courtesy and respect, regardless of gender, race, colour, sexual orientation, ethnicity, age, disability, marital status, religion or belief.

Stephens Scown is committed to creating a culture of inclusivity and tolerance, and to celebrate and embrace our differences and the contribution which each individual can make. All employees receive equality and diversity training on induction, and at regular intervals throughout the length of their employment with us. We do not tolerate rude, discourteous or disrespectful behaviour, and are committed to providing a workplace which is free from discrimination, bullying or harassment, and where everyone is treated with dignity and respect.

Our Equality and Diversity Policy underpins all our other policies, practices and procedures to ensure that neither the firm or its employees discriminate in the services we offer, the instructions we accept from clients, the selecting or instructing of Counsel and other experts, the provision of services, or in the recruitment and selection process, promotion, reward and recognition of our employees.
