Who we are

Inclusion, Diversity & Belonging Reporting

Our strategic approach to progress

At Ashurst, Inclusion, Diversity and Belonging (IDB) are more than just buzzwords. We work to build the benefits of our inclusive workplace through a strategic approach to progress and by holding ourselves accountable to deliver on our ambitious commitments.

Solicitors Regulation Authority Demographic Survey

Every two years, the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) asks every law firm in England and Wales to conduct a demographic survey, giving the SRA visibility into how the legal profession is changing. Our SRA Demographic Survey data shows our London and Glasgow population according to a variety of demographic characteristics and is invaluable to us as we measure the impact of our actions.

Pay Gap Report

Pay Gap Reporting is a key part of our commitment to transparency as we build a more inclusive and diverse business.

In addition to the statutory requirement to publish our Gender Pay Gap, we have also voluntarily published our Ethnicity Pay Gap since 2021 and continue to encourage wider diversity data disclosure with our people so we can better understand their needs and our opportunities to increase representation, opportunity and inclusion in our firm.
