Jackie Henry, managing partner of people and purpose, said: “I am pleased to see progress in the representation of women and people from ethnic minority backgrounds at partner level. We are continuing to prioritise creating an inclusive and diverse workplace where there is equity of opportunity for everyone. “To ensure we continue to build on this progress, we have introduced a new Future Leaders programme to support our efforts to improve the representation of women and underrepresented ethnic groups in our leadership team.” Richard Houston, senior partner and chief executive, added: “I’d like to congratulate all of our new partners. This is a milestone event and reflects the success of the firm and the confidence we have in our next generation of leaders. “We’ve achieved a lot in this past year in terms of our talent priorities. In addition to increasing the diversity of our senior leaders, we’ve accelerated the promotion and reward processes across all grades, and introduced overseas working.”
