Diversity and inclusion are fundamental to the culture at Duncan Pearson Solicitors. We believe that a diverse workforce — one that reflects the communities we serve — leads to better ideas, stronger teams, and more meaningful client relationships. Inclusion isn’t just about representation; it’s about creating an environment where everyone feels respected, supported, and empowered to thrive.

Our commitment begins with recruitment. We actively seek candidates from a wide range of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. We partner with universities, legal networks, and community organisations to promote access to the legal profession for underrepresented groups. Our hiring practices are designed to be fair, transparent, and inclusive at every stage.

Once here, our people are supported through mentorship programmes, flexible working arrangements, and ongoing training in inclusive leadership and cultural competency. We celebrate difference — whether it’s race, gender, age, disability, sexual orientation, religion, or socioeconomic background — and we work to ensure that every voice is heard and valued.

Our Diversity & Inclusion Committee plays a key role in shaping policy, hosting events, and driving awareness across the firm. We also collaborate with external organisations to benchmark progress and share best practices. From Pride Month celebrations to unconscious bias workshops, we’re committed to continuous learning and improvement.

We know that inclusion isn’t a destination — it’s a journey. At Duncan Pearson Solicitors, we’re proud of the progress we’ve made, and we’re committed to building a workplace where everyone belongs and can do their best work.
