InterLaw Diversity Forum for LGBT Networks

Launch of Career Progression Survey 2012 by the InterLaw Diversity Forum, the Law Society and the Bar Council

Following our groundbreaking survey The Career Experience of LGB Solictors conducted with the Law Society and the Bar Council and published in 2010, we are now looking  to launch a more ambitious and far-reaching project that will survey the career experiences of all lawyers and others working in the legal sector. Our aim is to uncover diverging career experiences of all kinds of people from all backgrounds in every kind of legal practice. The objective is to understand what drives or hinders career progression in the legal sector for men and women, gay and straight, black and white, religious and non-believer. This will inform our work to support a diverse and inclusive workforce across the legal sector where every individual has a fair opportunity to develop a rewarding career.

We hope to repeat the survey regularly so that we can see how the picture changes over time and which initiatives and projects are making a positive difference. Please help us to promote this year’s survey, which will again be conducted in collaboration with the Law Society and Bar Council.

Please participate by completing the survey here and encouraging all of your colleagues to participate. We are also reaching out to senior management and HR professionals to send this link out across their organisations.
