Register for the 2026 Social Mobility Employer Index
We all share a responsibility to create workplaces where everyone can thrive, no matter their background.
That’s why we created the Social Mobility Employer Index - an annual benchmarking and assessment tool for employers committed to taking the lead in building more inclusive, representative, and successful organisations.
The Index measures employer-led social mobility across eight key areas using the latest research and best practice. We provide expert guidance, year-on-year improvement advice, and resources like our new schools map to help you take practical steps forward.
Wherever you are on your social mobility journey, the Index will help you progress.

This isn't just about what happens within our own firm – we believe in the power of collective action. Through our Social Mobility Incubator, we're sharing our insights, tools and practical experience with clients, other law firms and organisations across all sectors, because real change happens when we work together to build a fairer, more inclusive profession and society."
