Gender Equality at King & Wood Mallesons

Gender Equality

Gender equality is one of our core priority areas in our Diversity, Inclusion & Wellbeing strategy, and is one of the firm’s strategic business imperatives as part of our overall all business strategy. 

Our commitment to gender equality means deliberate and meaningful actions on a range of issues such as:

• eliminating gender bias and stereotyping across all elements of the people experience such as recruitment, development and promotion;
• addressing the impact of caring responsibilities that have traditionally fallen disproportionately on women;
• mainstreaming flexible work practices for all so that we intentionally focus on driving an inclusive experience for everyone;
• zero tolerance of gender-based harassment and discrimination, sexual harassment and bullying;
• improving the use of diversity metrics and accountability around them; and
• enabling and encouraging more open conversations led from the top
