HEADLINE SPONSORS

As a leading global law firm, we recruit diverse talent from around the world, that’s why we’re proud to continue our ten-year long sponsorship of National Student Pride.

Whether you’ve considered a career in law or not, providing legal services to our clients relies heavily on our amazingly talented and diverse people, and the work we have been doing at both a global and a local level for LGBT+ inclusion was recognised in the 2019 Stonewall Workplace Equality Index as we ranked among the top ten legal employers.

We are proud founding partners of the LGBT+ Undergraduate of The Year Award; of our ground-breaking ACCEPT Conference; and of long-standing Partnerships with our LGBT+ Network (Arcus), myGwork, NSP and Attitude Magazine.

It’s our aim to be the LGBT+ employer of choice in the legal sector where our culture supports people to be themselves, all day, every day, delivering an equality of opportunity, aspiration and experience.

Our purpose is to make an impact that matters by creating trust and confidence in a more equitable society.

We do so by using our vast range of expertise, that covers audit, risk advisory, and consulting services across tax, legal, business, technology and corporate finance, providing services to organisations across a vast range of industries. To do this, we invest in outstanding people. We build teams of future thinkers, with diverse talents and backgrounds, and empower them all to reach for and achieve more.  

What brings us all together at Deloitte? It’s how we approach the thousands of decisions we make every day. How we behave, our beliefs and our attitudes. In other words: our values. Whatever we do, wherever we are in the world, we lead the way, serve with integrity, take care of each other, foster inclusion, and collaborate for measurable impact. These five shared values lead every decision we make and action we take, guiding us to deliver impact how and where it matters most.
