Penn Chambers Diversity Data 2025

Biannually law firms regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) are required to collect and publish diversity data. At Penn Chambers Solicitors, we do not look at this as a "tick-box" exercise, but we believe diversity and inclusion are essential to who we are as a firm and how we serve our clients.

Here is a snapshot of our team as of the 2025 submission.

  • Most of our team were educated at state schools, including both selective and non-selective schools.

• First-generation professionals:

  • The majority of our team members’ parents did not attend university.

• Household background:

  • Most grew up in households led by clerical, routine, or managerial workers.

    
    

These statistics highlight our belief in potential over privilege, and our commitment to providing opportunities for talented individuals, regardless of background.

Other Diversity Highlights

• 100% of respondents identify with the sex they were assigned at birth.

• No team member reported a disability.

• All respondents identify as heterosexual.

• Religious affiliation: a mix of Christian, Muslim, and those with no religion.

We believe that diversity is not just about who we are, but it is about how we think, how we communicate, and how we serve our clients. A diverse team is a stronger team.

We are proud of our inclusive culture, and we are always learning, always growing.
