Our Ethos

Serle Court recognises the importance of providing a positive and supportive working environment for our barristers and staff and has done so for several years.  As a growing chambers, we acknowledge the importance of maintaining a collegiate working environment and the need to ensure that all of our policies and practices enable us to do this. 

Serle Court has an established Equality, Diversity and Wellbeing Committee with the work of that committee overseen by the Management Committee thereby ensuring it has the widest application to all aspects of Chambers. We also have a member of chambers sitting on the Chancery Bar E&D Committee. 

Serle Court’s Equality and Diversity policy aims include:

• to secure equality of opportunity in every area of its activities.
• to treat its members, pupils, employees, clients and the public with respect.
• to observe and endorse the relevant provisions of the Code of Conduct and the Equality and Diversity Code, particularly when discharging any duties in the management of Chambers.
• to strive to ensure that Chambers does not directly or indirectly discriminate against any current or prospective member, pupil, employee or client on any improper ground, such as age; disability; gender reassignment; marital or civil partnership status; pregnancy or maternity; race, colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin; religion or belief; sex and sexual orientation.
