Disability

Inclusion & diversity

At Clifford Chance we believe everyone is entitled to the same equality of opportunity and experience.

No one should ever feel they can't be a full and equal member of the firm or society because of a disability. The breadth of wisdom and perspective that people with different life experiences can bring to our firm across the globe only makes us stronger and better at what we do.

However, to benefit from the perspectives of our disabled people we have to constantly strive to deliver that equality of opportunity and daily experience for them.

Event: Disability inclusion - are you in?

Join Clifford Chance's affinity network Enable UK, and our special guest speakers, as we examine disability inclusion and its role in the UK legal sector on 13 December to mark International Day of Persons with Disabilities. Experts will share their thoughts on the opportunities and challenges faced by disabled and neurodivergent people and their employers.

Highlights

My Lived Experience

Global

Understanding the lived experience of our colleagues is central to our disability inclusion strategy. It raises awareness of visible and non-visible disabilities and debunks the myths around the umbrella term of ‘disability’. In our award-winning series ‘Enable: My Lived Experience’ we speak to our colleagues to find out about their own, or family members’, lived experience to discover what it means for them in their day-to-day role at Clifford Chance. Enjoy!
