Respect
Embracing individuality and inclusion
We embrace individuality; we understand it and appreciate it. We bring diverse teams together to create an impact in an inclusive and meaningful way.
Perspectives
Marc van Gelder, Netherlands Managing Partner, addresses the role of respect at the core of everything we want to stand for as an organisation and a service provider.
Framing 'Respect'
Respect in action
Nurturing a diverse, inclusive culture allows all of our talent to flourish. It sparks creativity amongst our people. It powers innovation for our clients. A gender-balanced workplace, where all people feel supported, is central to building a better business and a better world.
In France the TWomen initiative has been running since 2015, a business network gathering our female Partners and Counsels with their female clients. Promoting gender diversity, the club meets every quarter during a networking or round-table event to discuss collaborative and empowerment topics.
We also have our hugely successful International Women's Leadership Programme, which aims to build leadership capabilities and succession opportunities. It equips our women partners and senior counsel with the tools to address the challenges of taking a leadership role in the firm and with clients. The programme also develops an international network of peers to build collaboration, foster business opportunities and to encourage the cohort to keep connected.
