SRA Legal Diversity Survey Report 2017

 

We were recently happy to comply with the Solicitors Regulation Authority’s (SRA) annual request to collect, report and publish our workforce diversity profile, to help the SRA and Legal Service’s Board promote transparency and diversity in the legal services market.

Blackstone Solicitors has a modern approach to equality and diversity.
