Prospective employees and clients want to work for, and with, firms that prioritise purpose, not just profits; firms who make a positive contribution to Society. When it comes to diversity and inclusion at work, we often place our focus around issues such as gender, race, or disability. But diversity and inclusion extend far wider than this and includes social mobility.
Our half-day Social Mobility conference will demonstrate the importance of improving this key area. More than that this event will give practical information on how to implement a social mobility strategy in your firm and will give examples of the benefits to the business as well as individuals.
Speakers include:
Helen Mahy CBE, Chair of The Renewables Infrastructure Group and formerly General Counsel of the National Grid
Hollie Crompton, PwC, Social Mobility Lead
Helen Westerman, NSPCC, Head of Local Campaigns
Alice Kinder, Anthony Collins Solicitors, Associate
Our panel looking at social mobility from a range of perspectives will feature:
Barry Matthews, Meggitt plc, Founder of the Social Mobility Business Partnership and SVP General Counsel and Director of Government Relations
Shez Anjum, DWF, Corporate Solicitor
Kurt Satney, BPP University, Student President
Helen Westerman, NSPCC, Head of Local Campaigns
Marc Doyle, Consilium Academies, Director of Education
We all must come together collectively and strive for a more equal future for all. Businesses and leaders have a key role to play in helping to create social mobility and we need to stand up and take action to create a more socioeconomic and ethnically diverse workplace.
So why not join us at our landmark Social Mobility Conference on 17th March 2022? This Conference is held as a partnership event between Squire Patton Boggs and Manchester Law Society and will be of benefit to everybody, but in particular HR, Diversity & Inclusion Officers, Training Partners and Senior Management.
A new ‘State of the Residential Real Estate Market’ guide has launched, to provide law firms and property lawyers with a view of the major themes that will shape the coming year.
Published by legal due diligence data providers, SearchFlow, the guide offers insights on how law firms can best position themselves to take advantage of the resulting opportunities and shield themselves from potential risks.
The topics covered include:
Use of technology – harmonising cutting-edge technology with exceptional customer service to boost the overall customer experience when buying or selling residential real estate.
Hybrid working – addressing the ongoing balance between client expectations and employee wellbeing.
Changing demographics – evolving legal services to meet the needs of millennial and Gen Z clients and employees; and
Climate change - The Law Society predicts legal professionals have a significant role to play in how the world responds to potential climate changes. How can you leverage your own team and suppliers to become socially responsible legal experts?
“As the world wrestles with social and climate changes, the legal industry - long seen as a more traditional market - has opened itself up to new possibilities, evolved its working practices and adopted new technologies,” confirms Dr Thomas Quirke, managing director of SearchFlow.
“Consumers expect a faster, highly secure and more transparent property transaction process. Resilience will come from embracing further innovation, including AI and automated solutions, on tasks that help to free-up professionals’ time to concentrate on more specialist legal counsel, while supporting compliance adherence.
“Our ‘State of the Residential Real Estate Market’ guide discusses these topics in detail and offers opinion on actionable steps that law firms can take to remain competitive.”
