The task force comprises senior managers from HR and learning and development, alongside partners from diverse practice areas. It aims to:
Our aim is to become the law firm of choice for disabled candidates.
The success of our commitment to disability inclusion, and of the various disability-focused initiatives and programmes in which we have invested, is measured by the results achieved. We are proud, therefore, that over the past three years the disability inclusiveness of our firm has improved substantially.
Last year we won seven awards and were shortlisted for numerous others for our work in recruiting candidates with a disability. The continual recognition by our peers as leaders in recruiting in this area is very gratifying.
But don’t just take our word for it . . .
“Reed Smith created a unique recruitment programme solely for applicants with disabilities, both for work experience and training contracts. This work has been ground-breaking and we have spoken about it at conferences and networking events. Our members struggle to break through the many hurdles that exist in legal recruitment. Obtaining work experience on the Reed Smith scheme has made a tremendous difference to them. No request has been too much and we are so very grateful for the firm’s valuable support.”

“I applied to Reed Smith because of the firm’s close work with leading disability organisations. The firm’s commitment to making the legal profession more accessible to disabled candidates is what struck me most and motivated me to apply.”
