Responsible business
Inclusion & diversity
At Clifford Chance Prague, we hold inclusion as a fundamental value, not just within our firm, but also in the world of law. We firmly believe that diversity and inclusion enrich not only our workforce but also the lives of our employees, their families, our clients, and society as a whole. To champion these values, we are dedicated campaigners within our firm, with our clients, and in the world.
Empowering Female Lawyers and Honoring a Century of Achievements
At Clifford Chance Prague, we are committed to empowering and supporting female lawyers. We proudly participate in the #PRVNÍCH100LET project, celebrating a significant milestone in 2022—100 years since the first female graduate left the gates of the law school as a lawyer. We provide flexible work options, enabling female leaders to excel while balancing the demands of work and family, whether it's working from home, bringing their child to work, or other flexible arrangements.
Fostering LGBT+ Workplace Equality: Pride Business Forum
As members of the Pride Business Forum, we play an active role in creating a space for employers to engage in meaningful discussions about LGBT+ workplace equality. Whether you're an employee, HR manager, or a company owner, we're here to support you. Our goal is to facilitate collaboration between the public and private sectors, enabling them to work closely on matters related to LGBT+ workplace equality. This provides a unique opportunity to share direct experiences and best practices, fostering a more inclusive work environment.
In June 2024 we were recognized in Pride Business Forum Awards for our comprehensive policies protecting employees from discrimination and harassment, showing a proactive approach to safeguarding workplace rights.
Celebrating Through Art: Arcus Pride Art Exhibition
Our annual Arcus Pride Art exhibition stands as a testament to our dedication to promoting diversity and inclusion. It has grown to become one of the largest corporate-supported exhibitions, showcasing the artworks of talented LGBT+ and supporter artists. This truly global celebration extends across Clifford Chance's vast network, with events and exhibitions taking place annually.
