Simmons & Simmons LLP

Simmons & Simmons considers Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) to be strategically important and central to the company's success. From the very beginning, all employees—regardless of their position, qualifications, or background—are encouraged to contribute new ideas and embrace a diversity of thoughts and experiences. It is important to the firm that everyone feels a sense of belonging and can actively participate.

Rainbow Day is important to us because, as signatories of the Charta der Vielfalt (Diversity Charter), we are committed to LGBTQ+ initiatives in the workplace as both a Prout Employer and a Stonewall Employer (Bronze).

The focus areas are: • Gender Balance: Promoting equality and increasing the proportion of women in partnerships and leadership. • Ethnic Diversity: Greater equal opportunities and inclusion, avoidance of (unconscious) discrimination. • LGBTQ+: Creating an inclusive work environment for all LGBTQ+ colleagues worldwide. • Social Mobility: Expanding access and career opportunities for underrepresented groups. • Neurodiversity: Developing into a neuro-inclusive organization. The effectiveness of DEI initiatives is measured, among other things, by the achievement of targets for gender quotas, annual diversity audits, feedback from exit interviews, employee satisfaction surveys, and gender pay gap reports. The commitment to DEI is ongoing. Despite progress already made, Simmons & Simmons continues to see a need for action. Mutual trust and respect for differences are the basis for successful collaboration and the best results.
