Inclusion is everything. Studies have repeatedly shown that higher workplace inclusion directly contributes to increased productivity, wellbeing, and staff retention. Flex Legal are proud of the reputation we have built in this space, and now want to share our insights with the wider legal industry.
We’ve sought direct input from participants in our award winning social-mobility scheme, Flex Trainee, and distilled them into actionable lessons you can apply to your own legal team. We hope that by sharing this information you will join us in our mission to make the industry we love more inclusive.

“Legal teams can enhance inclusivity by widening their talent pool to include candidates from non-traditional backgrounds and implementing mentorship programmes.”
“I believe it's essential to celebrate everyone's unique contributions. This not only enhances employee engagement but also strengthens the sense of belonging within the team.”
“By developing and delivering mentorship and internship programs targeted at underrepresented groups, legal teams can not only provide invaluable experience to individuals but also help to prepare candidates for job openings within the legal teams.”
“Creating a more inclusive hiring process requires a proactive approach. Companies need to seek out candidates, and hire lawyers, from diverse backgrounds and recognise the unique perspectives they bring.”
