Equal Opportunities
Equal Opportunities Notice
Altern8 Legal Limited is committed to equal opportunities and to treating everyone with fairness, dignity and respect. We believe the legal profession benefits from different backgrounds, experiences and perspectives.
This commitment applies to our own recruitment and working practices, the development of our consulting lawyer network, and the introduction of legal professionals to clients.
Fair access to opportunities
We welcome applications and enquiries from people of all backgrounds. We assess individuals on their skills, qualifications, experience and ability to meet the relevant requirements of a role or engagement.
We do not tolerate unlawful discrimination because of age, disability, gender, marriage or civil partnership, pregnancy or maternity, race (including colour, nationality and ethnic or national origin), religion or belief, or sexual orientation.
We recognise that legal careers can take different paths. Career breaks, caring responsibilities and non-traditional career routes should not, in themselves, be barriers to consideration.
Accessible recruitment and engagement
We are committed to making reasonable adjustments for disabled applicants and consulting lawyers throughout our recruitment and selection processes. We also work with clients to support reasonable adjustments for engagements.
If you need an adjustment, an alternative format or support to participate in our processes, please contact us.
Respectful working relationships
We expect our team and consulting lawyers to uphold these principles and work with clients who share our commitment to fair treatment. We do not tolerate unlawful discrimination, harassment or victimisation, and will challenge discriminatory requests or practices.
Questions or concerns
If you have a question about this notice or believe you have experienced unfair treatment in your dealings with Altern8, please contact your Altern8 representative or use the contact details on our website. We will take concerns seriously, handle them sensitively and respect confidentiality as far as possible while addressing the issue. No one should be disadvantaged for raising a concern in good faith.
