InterLaw Diversity Forum calls for views on workplace culture & job security

The InterLaw Diversity Forum launched the latest phase of its research project this week, looking at workplace culture, job satisfaction and job security in the legal sector through the perspectives of social mobility, race and ethnicity, LGBTQ+ identity, disability, sex and other characteristics.

Lawyers and legal sector professionals are invited to take part in the 2023 Career Progression in the Legal Sector study, by filling out a short survey.

Dame Fiona Woolf, patron of the Forum, said: ‘In order to build our understanding of the whole picture, it is vital that those in majority groups, as well as those in diverse, underrepresented, and socially mobile groups, participate in this survey.’

The survey, sponsored by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, can be accessed here.
