Making a world of difference

Diversity and inclusion

At Eversheds Sutherland, the case for diversity and inclusion (D&I) is clear, it underpins our values and purpose. We recognize that having diverse talent across our business brings many benefits and that a culture of inclusion, where each person feels able to be their true self at work and reach their full potential is key.

Within Eversheds Sutherland Ireland we have 5 people networks:

  • Pathways
  • Perspective (LGBT+)
  • Verve (Race and Ethnicity)
  • Ability (Wellbeing, Ability and Carers); and
  • Mental Health Nework.

All our networks are open to all our employees and partners, and we encourage allies to get involved.

We have a Diversity & Inclusion Steering Committee which meets monthly to drive our progress, with representation from our D&I sponsor, Mark Varian and other various partner sponsors from our networks.

What diversity means to us

Diversity refers to the similarities and differences that exist between people. This includes race, age, gender, disability, sexual orientation, religion as well as social economic background, nationality, marital status and family or care responsibilities.

Valuing diversity means that we value and respect our people, our clients and our community.

Our diversity and equality policy outlines the key principles of the firm to support diversity in the workplace.

Our commitment and vision

Eversheds Sutherland, as an equal opportunities employer, is committed to ensuring that all employees of the firm are treated fairly and equally. We aim to create an environment that values the diversity of our colleagues, clients and people.

Eversheds Sutherland is committed to providing policies, procedures and practices to support recruiting, training and promoting the best person for the job regardless of age, gender, marital status, race or ethnicity, nationality, disability, religion, sexual orientation, social or educational background or family or care responsibilities.

Our commitment to diversity forms the basis of the firms values and overall vision. The partners of the firm support an environment that is free from any form of discrimination, harassment or bullying and within which all individuals are treated fairly, with respect and courtesy.
