GC Diversity and Inclusion Report 2016
The purpose of this section is to analyse the state of diversity within the legal market by summarising the opinions of both in-house lawyers and outside professionals, whilst also evaluating how legal teams are contributing to diversity initiatives within their organisations. It is based on an online survey completed by 248 UK respondents.
In order to make the survey representative of the UK economy, we collected responses from a variety of job titles, a cross section of industries and a range of small and large companies. The vast majority of our respondents (62%) are legal professionals: with general counsel, legal counsel and director of legal being the most prevalent job titles. The non-legal respondents in our survey sample had a good understanding of both their own legal department and the external legal services market – with respondents typically working within the c-suite or human resources.
