We believe that everybody should be treated on his or her merits regardless of sex, colour, race, nationality, ethnic or national origin, sexual orientation, marital status, civil partnership status, pregnancy, age, disability, religion or belief.
The aim of this policy is to ensure every effort is made to conduct the firm's activities so that job applicants and employees have an equal opportunity of being recruited and promoted.
Diversity statement
"Denton Wilde Sapte is committed to equality and diversity in all our employment practices, across all of our international offices.
We endeavour to provide a flexible workplace environment, and engender in our employees respect for the individual, understanding of differences and the benefit this richness of diversity brings to the firm. We do this through our recruitment processes, induction and training and by dedicating two Partners to be responsible for Diversity within the firm. These two Partners are also creating a Working Group which will ensure that our employees are well represented in decisions made on Diversity issues and will encourage new initiatives to raise awareness of differing backgrounds.
Outlined below is a breakdown of diversity information provided by our partners and employees. You can also view and download a copy of our Equal Opportunities & Diversity statement."
