Equality Diversity and Inclusion
Hall Brown Family Law is a modern, inclusive business. We are committed to providing equal opportunities for all and we actively promote diversity.
We appoint, train, develop, reward and promote our staff solely on the basis of merit and ability. We do not discriminate, either directly or indirectly.
The SRA regulates solicitors in England and Wales. The SRA requires us to run our business in a way that encourages equality of opportunity and respect for diversity. We welcome this and we continually strive to encourage diversity throughout our firm.
In accordance with our regulatory requirements, we collect and report on data about the diversity of our business on a two yearly basis. Data from our most recent survey in 2023 is summarised below. In order to protect the privacy of our staff, we have chosen not to publish all of the data we collect and the data is expressed as percentages rather than actual values.

- 90% are female
- 100% identify as the same sex registered at birth
- 6% consider that they have a disability but do not consider it limits their day to day activities
- 10% are from an ethnic background other than white British
- 70% describe themselves as having no religion or belief.
- 100% describe their sexual orientation as heterosexual / straight
- 70% attended a non-selective UK State school with 56% having parents who did not attend university
- 20% consider themselves the primary carer of a child under 18 years old
Our next survey will take place in summer 2025 and the results will be published once received and collated.
