Ask a Question

As recent suspensions would indicate, whilst we have been obliged to ‘encourage’ equality, diversity and inclusion in our workplaces for years, the recent addition of Rule 1.5 into our Code of Conduct for Solicitors has upped the ante and requires us as firms to look out for the wellbeing of our staff too. Intoxication is no defence to improper advances at Christmas parties, please note.

How we should now be thinking? Is ‘eat what you kill’ the best approach to fee-earning, or should we be showing a modicum of humanity in our relations with our staff and team-mates?
