Diversity & discrimination

Every firm will tell you that diversity and discrimination is a growing, rapidly changing area. But how many actually understand that it’s not just the latest piece of legislation that matters? It’s the practical way that it relates to your organisation, including your working practices and environment that really makes a difference.

Our employment experts provide sound, commercial advice to every client. It’s this that makes us one of the leading teams in the South West. We’re known for our ability to get to the crux of the matter quickly and tell you what you need to know in plain English.

We can make sure that your employment documentation and procedures are fully compliant and, if appropriate, we’ll also be there to defend you in the Tribunals. But we often find that prevention works as well as cure. We work with a number of leading businesses, providing clear advice and topical training on all forms of discrimination – focusing on practical ways to tackle the issue throughout your business.

We can advise on diversity and discrimination matters relating to:

  • Age
  • Disability
  • Gender reassignment
  • Marriage and civil partnership
  • Pregnancy and maternity
  • Race
  • Religion or belief
  • Sex
  • Sexual orientation

Some examples of our work:
