Equality and Diversity at Cecilia Gozzoli Solicitors
We survey our staff periodically in relation to equality and diversity. We also are under an obligation to report out survey findings to the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) at their request (usually between every 1-2 years). The SRA collate all diversity data from law firms and publish their findings on their website. The results from the last SRA survey in 2019 can be found here.
The SRA require all law firms to publish the results of their survey. As a firm, this assists Cecilia Gozzoli Solicitors to treat all our clients, staff and contacts in an equal and fair manner and we encourage our staff to take part, although it is not compulsory.
The results from our 2023 survey are below in percentage format of those who participated.
