Diversity Data

All solicitors’ firms are required to monitor diversity in their firm. They must submit the results to the Solicitors’ Regulation Authority and publish the data so that is accessible to members of the public. The data is collected via a voluntary survey sent to all staff members. No-one is compelled to answer the questions and information regarding religion and sexual orientation is excluded from the publication requirement.

Humfrys & Symonds Solicitors carried out its most recent survey in June 2025 and 100% of staff responded. The results are shown here.
