"I am the joint partner champion of the firm’s Social Inclusion and Ethnicity Group. This is something I am truly passionate about given my background and route into the legal profession. I am proud of the firm’s commitment to diversity and inclusivity. Our recruitment initiatives, like Career Kick Start and Race for Change demonstrate how we aim to recruit the best talent from diverse backgrounds . Our focus on retention is promoted through an inclusive culture which ensures we are meritocratic in providing opportunities to all."

Daisy Reeves , Partner – Banking
"BCLP has consistently ranked as a top ten LGBTQ* employer in the UK-wide and cross-sector Stonewall Work Equality Index and is also a Stonewall Top Trans Employer. I have been ‘out’ since I was a trainee (a very long time ago…) and, as well as being a Banking partner and Graduate Recruitment partner, I am one of the LGBTQ* Champions here. Come and join our award-winning LGBTQ* group or join our allies network. At BCLP you truly can BE YOU."
