At A&L Goodbody, diversity and inclusion is about respecting, valuing and fostering the differences that exist in our people, and the domestic and international markets in which we do business.
Mutual respect and collaboration amongst our colleagues are key to the culture of our firm and we are committed to ensuring that everyone is treated with respect, fairness and integrity. Each one of our employees bring a set of unique talents and perspectives to the table. We celebrate diverse thinking by creating a culture where all our people are encouraged to draw upon their individual backgrounds, experiences, interests and viewpoints.
Our commitment to equality and nurturing a culture of inclusion goes to the heart of our firm. We have a Diversity & Inclusion Group that focus on the following five main pillars of diversity and inclusion. These are:
Our gender equality programme, called DARE, provides an environment where our people are given the opportunities and experiences they require to progress in their chosen career path, regardless of gender.
OneALG is our LGBTQ+ employee group that is focused on supporting and empowering our LGBTQ+ employees. One ALG also contributes to our inclusive firm policies and procedures and supporting the LGBTQ+ community through impactful pro bono projects.
We strive to create a workplace that welcomes individuals with disabilities and neurodiverse conditions, to ensure they have equal opportunities to thrive in their chosen career path.
Our social mobility strategy creates opportunities for young people from lower socio-economic backgrounds to progress to further education and employment.
In ALG, we aim to reflect the growing diversity in our communities. We recognise, respect, and celebrate the diversity of cultures in our firm.
