Employers for women

Nine law firms have been named in The Times Top 50 Employer for Women list: Eversheds, Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer, Herbert Smith Freehills, Hogan Lovells, Linklaters, Norton Rose Fulbright, Obelisk Support, Olswang, and Simmons & Simmons. The accolade recognises UK organisations that are leading on gender diversity, and is assessed by a team from Business in the Community’s Opportunity Now campaign. Colin Passmore, senior partner at Simmons & Simmons, which features in the list for the third year running, says: “We remain committed to doing more.”
