Diversity at Gadens

Fantastic parental leave scheme and diverse hiring practices. The firms employees reflected the community it serves.

Limited female partnership in most teams, however a few teams have a 40/60 male to female partner ratio. Not sure that the firm focuses on ethnic minorities; however, LGBT community is celebrated and encouraged.

While there is still gender inequality at the partner level, the firm is taking steps to improve diversity. Hiring more women, starting working groups focusing on gender, LGBTQIA+, and carer responsibilities. We recently introduced an industry-leading parental leave policy.

We're a very progressive firm. I think over 40% of our partners are women.

Women are fairly well represented at the higher levels, the RAP seems to be coming along well and the upcoming working groups for other areas of diversity will hopefully come along well also

There is still work to be done, but progress is being made.

The firm runs an intern program

Unsure.

The firm has started a partnership with Career Trackers, which aims to give Indigenous Australians exposure to corporate careers and environments. The firm also provides internships to those that we have pro bono partnerships with.

We've partnered with CareerTrackers and currently have an Indigenous intern in one of our teams.

The new internship programs are a good start
