Diversity at Clifford Chance

8.4
8.4 rating for Diversity, based on 8 reviews
Please provide further information on diversity with respect to women, ethnic minorities and LGBT. Please comment on issues such as recruitment, retention, promotion, child care, maternity leave, etc.
Great LGBT and female representation at a junior level. However there has been a significant exit of senior women from the firm which needs to be addressed. There is also a lack of female parents. Culturally, the firm is quite diverse despite not having strong BIPOC representation.

Good focus on diversity and inclusion and large proportion of juniors are female or non white individuals. Issue with senior women staying in roles and supporting them when they have families, partly due to the current management rather than the firm itself.

CC is second to none when it comes to diversity. I see people from all backgrounds here and there is always something going in the firm raising awareness for minorities and LGBT. There are also excellent policies when it comes to child care and maternity leave.
Graduate, Sydney
The firm's policies are excellent. Initiatives such as ACCEPT (active recruitment of LGBT+ students), cultural diversity and indigenous recognition initiatives and gender equity goals all go towards making a strongly inclusive, constantly improving culture.

I believe this firm has a diverse and inclusive culture, although there are still issues with retaining women in more senior positions. It is a difficult career to balance having kids and this firm also has its challenges with regards to this issue.

Clifford Chance sees inclusion as an intrinsic value of the firm and creates space for and encourages graduates and junior lawyers to be directly involved and take active roles in its diversity, inclusion and responsible business initiatives. Clifford Chance in Sydney received numerous awards for inclusion, including the recognition as AWEI "Gold" employer for two consecutive years.

What does your company do to attract applicants from less privileged backgrounds?
Blind interviews where identifying information is removed from resumes so as not to favour those from more privileged backgrounds.
Graduate, Perth
Scholarships and donations.

In my view, there are not many low privilege people at the firm.
