The racist murder of George Floyd by a policeman in Minnesota on 25 May 2020 was a shocking event which shook the world. This has led to renewed action behind the Black Lives Matter campaign and demonstrations in support in the UK and elsewhere. The global nature of these demonstrations highlighted that the issues of racism and discrimination are not limited to the US and it is important for us all to make a stand and to act where we can.
Hodge Jones and Allen condemns the racist killing of George Floyd and supports the right of protest against racism. We express our solidarity with the aims of Black Lives Matter.
The firm has from its foundation stood firm against racism. In the 1980s and 1990s, we acted on behalf of the Commission for Racial Equality in many cases of discrimination. We see racism and discrimination in much of our work and are determined to do everything
