Our Ability Forum supports people with disabilities and those caring for them, creating an environment to share stories and improve understanding. We're fostering a culture where colleagues feel safe disclosing their disability so that we can make adjustments, such as to physical equipment, working patterns or specialist software.

We were founding members of the Legal Neurodiversity Network and have an award-winning neurodiversity programme.

Our ethnicity network, AG Embrace, connects colleagues to share insights into their lived experiences, helping to create positive change and a space to celebrate different cultural heritages. 

To support ethnically diverse students, we launched the Ethnicity Talent Law initiative so colleagues could share their career stories and give advice. 

We are also a founding member of NOTICED and member of the Black Solicitors Network, a not-for-profit organisation that provides training and mentoring.

Equality isn't a women's issue, it's a business issue. And thanks to our investment in this area, the number of our female partners has risen from 20% (2020) to 31% (2023) and we aim to increase this to 38% by 2027.  Our collaborative network, The Vine, is a driver for change within the firm, as is our award-winning career development programme, Flourish. We are also signatories of the Women in Finance Charter, demonstrating our commitment to supporting gender balance.

"Flourish gave me renewed excitement about what my future at AG could hold." Andrea Hunter, Managing Associate

Our OpenAG network not only provides a platform for colleagues to share experiences of sexual orientation equality but it's also been crucial in the development of our Transitioning Policies, Parental Policies, LGBTQ+ mentoring programme (the Rainbow Connection) and various allyship guides. We were also founding members of the LGBTQ+ Lawyers Development Programme, a two-day interactive workshop to build leadership skills and create opportunities for career progression.

We have a holistic approach to supporting parents, through fertility treatment, parental leave and returning to work, offering flexible and agile working patterns when they need it the most.  

We are particularly proud of our Parental Pods programme which connects colleagues to share their stories and gives them resources to help their experiences as working parents.

We believe everyone should be given opportunities to fulfil their potential regardless of where they were born, the school they went to or their parents' job. So we launched apprenticeships for solicitors and business services, mentoring and work experience programmes, and a social mobility network.

We are members of PRIME and are founding signatories of the Aspiring Solicitors' Smart Legal Commitment, which provides financial assistance to aspiring lawyers from socially diverse backgrounds for accommodation, tech and formal clothes.

We have a growing number of faith communities that create spaces for colleagues to embrace their faith and opportunities for those wishing to learn about other customs and traditions.
