CMS to become first firm to sign up to LGBT+ charter

CMS is to become the first law firm to sign The Glass Network’s framework for Scottish law firms that promote LGBT+ diversity and inclusion.

The firm’s managing director, Allan Wernham, will sign The Glass Charter at CMS and The Glass Network’s Pre-Pride Brunch, in its Edinburgh offices at 10:30am tomorrow, to which all are welcome.

The Law Society of Scotland’s 2018 Profile of the Profession reported, among other things, that 34 per cent of LGBT+ professionals report personal experience of bullying, harassment or sexual harassment in the workplace.

In recognition of this, Glass developed the charter, a simple framework designed specifically for law firms in Scotland. The Glass Charter enables firms to adopt and adapt inclusive principles to their business’ needs without compromising on their support for LGBT+ equality, diversity and inclusion.
