Achievements   

The Law Society's Excellence in Equality and Diversity Award

Awarded to Eversheds in October 2008. Citation:

"The winning firm nosed out so many very strong contenders because it was crystal clear from their entry the extent to which they have embraced equality and diversity, and that it is integrated to all that they do.

"They've established a multi-faith network group and an LGBT group, are engaging with disabled students to consider a career in a major law firm, and have set up a programme of E&D training for all staff - from trainees to partners. A staff member at each of their offices is dedicated to diversity work.

"The results? They overhauled their graduate recruitment process, significantly increasing the proportion of ethnic minority trainees and have one of the highest number of female partners of the top ten firms."

Asian Jewel Awards

Eversheds partners Iftkhar Ahmed and Kuljeet Hothi have both won Professional Excellence Awards at the Lloyds TSB Asian Jewel Awards in the last year. The awards celebrate the contribution made by Asian people to society and the economy, and recognise outstanding achievements in all areas of professional practice in Britain.
