Partnership CounselBarristers · Partnership Law
Partnership Counsel is committed to equality and diversity in all aspects of its work — both within Chambers and in the service we provide to clients.
We are committed to treating all clients, barristers, and staff equally, regardless of any protected characteristic.
We aim to ensure that our services are accessible to all who need them, and will make reasonable adjustments wherever possible.
We foster a culture of inclusion and respect within Chambers, and expect the same standards from all with whom we work.
Partnership Counsel is committed to promoting equality and diversity and to eliminating unlawful discrimination in all areas of our work. This commitment applies to the way we treat our clients, our barristers, our staff, and all others with whom we deal.
We will not discriminate unlawfully against any person on grounds of any protected characteristic, including: age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, and sexual orientation.
We are committed to providing an equal and high quality service to all our clients. We will not refuse instructions or provide a lesser service to any client on the basis of a protected characteristic. Where a client has particular needs — for example, because of a disability — we will take reasonable steps to accommodate those needs.
We are committed to maintaining a working environment free from unlawful discrimination, bullying and harassment. We expect all members of Chambers and staff to uphold these standards in their dealings with each other and with those outside Chambers.
We comply with all applicable equality and diversity requirements imposed by the Bar Standards Board and any other relevant regulatory bodies. We regularly review our policies and practices to ensure ongoing compliance and improvement.
Any person who believes they have been subjected to unlawful discrimination by Partnership Counsel is encouraged to raise the matter through our complaints procedure. We take all such concerns seriously and will investigate promptly and confidentially.
If you have any questions about our equality and diversity policy, or if you require this information in an alternative format, please contact our Practice Manager, Tyroon Win. Further information about the equality obligations of barristers is available from the Bar Standards Board.
