We attended the BSN Diversity League Table launch on Monday, and what a night it was! The event, hosted by Linklaters also saw the announcement of the UK Diversity Legal Awards winners – which we had the pleasure of sponsoring.
The evening was a great success and attendees had the opportunity to listen to Solicitor General, Edward Garnier QC MP who delivered the keynote speech, followed by a great diversity panel discussion with participants including the co-chair of the Gender Nat Linklaters, and the editor of the Diversity League Table. What was particularly interesting to hear were the real steps being made by the legal profession to increase diversity.
Then came the awards. Sidley Austin, scooped the award for “Recruitment -Attracting Talent” and 25 Bedford Row received the award for “Retention-Talent Management”, which we sponsored. The award for “Diversity Champion 2011” was awarded to two candidates – Rita Tappia, from Shoosmiths and Paulette Mastin from Linklaters were both presented with an award for their outstanding work. Big congratulations to all the winners! Read the rest of this entry ?
