    Reasonable Adjustments Statement

As a Firm, we are committed to providing an environment where clients and visitors have access to the support and tools they need to ensure they have an excellent experience when attending our offices or liaising with our people. For candidates, this commitment also extends to situations in which an adjustment would enable them to perform to the best of their ability at an interview or in a test situation.

If you are a client or visitor and would like to discuss any adjustments that might assist you when attending our office, or accessing our services more widely, then please discuss with your contact at the Firm.

If you are a candidate applying for a role at the Firm and would like to discuss any adjustments that might assist you during the application and interview process, then please contact either our Early Talent Team (for training contract, placement scheme, solicitor apprenticeship or any other early talent programme) or our Recruitment Team (for any other role).

Examples of adjustments we can make include, but are not limited to:

  • Providing documents in large print or accessible formats
  • Allowing additional time for tasks that form part of the assessment process
  • Ensuring the interview location is accessible
  • Any other support you may need relating to a disability or health condition.

If you are attending our office and would need assistance to evacuate the building in the event of an emergency, please notify your contact at the Firm, who will be able to liaise with Health & Safety.

Any information you disclose will be kept confidential unless otherwise instructed by you, and will only be used to provide appropriate support to you during our assessment process.

Having been diagnosed with medial epicondylitis I needed injections and physiotherapy treatment. My physiotherapist recommended using a specific type of ergonomic keyboard and mouse for work. After explaining the situation to HR, they liaised with IT and organised the change of equipment immediately, resulting in my needing no further medication or treatment.

I was diagnosed with dyslexia when I was at university and felt comfortable sharing this with the HR team when I joined the firm. I have felt incredibly supported by the firm who installed a piece of software called Read and Write, which reads my written work back to me to allow me to hear my spelling mistakes and enables me to do my job to the standards expected.
