Culture 

Diversity and equality 

Buckles Law is committed to treating all its employees, partners, workers, clients and job applicants equally and fairly.  No employee or prospective employee will receive less favourable treatment because of any ‘protected characteristic’, including: 

• age (or perceived age) 
• disability (past or present) 
• gender reassignment 
• marriage or civil partnership status 
• race, colour, nationality, ethnic or national origins 
• religion or belief 
• sex 
• sexual orientation 

Buckles Law will always recruit, train, develop, reward and promote every individual purely on the basis of merit and ability. We are also committed to making all reasonable accessibility adjustments for our people and clients with disabilities, including the provision of ramps, accessible toilets and large print. Clients can also request home visits. 

Buckles Law encourages, values and manages diversity and is committed to equality for all its people.  Buckles will attain a workforce that is representative of the communities from which it is drawn. 

Buckles Law has developed an Equal Opportunities Policy to ensure it makes full use of the talents and resources of all its employees, while providing an environment that encourages good and productive working operations within the firm.  

Equality and Diversity information is requested at the commencement of employment, which feeds into an annual survey, conducted to monitor equality and diversity. 

The SRA requires all regulated firms to collect, report and publish data about the diversity of their workforce and the results of the latest survey follows: 2025 Diversity & Inclusion Report  

Values shaped by decades of high-quality service  

The values that guide us are shaped by who we are as a law firm, as individuals and as your trusted legal advisers. We recruit talented individuals who not only demonstrate the expertise and commitment we seek, but reflect our values in their approach to life.  

We believe everyone in our firm, at every level in every role, shares the same values. We expect these values to guide them in their personal and professional lives, be reflected in their approach and visible in everything we do. 

Our values are: 

Professional and personal  

We combine exceptional legal expertise with a warm and approachable style. This ensures that every client feels supported, listened to and understood. 

Honest and trusted 

Honesty and integrity are at the heart of all our actions. We believe in building lasting relationships based on trust, ensuring our clients receive appropriate, reliable legal advice. 

Authentic and confident 

Our people endeavour to be open-minded and confident, whilst valuing diverse perspectives. We communicate openly, avoid jargon and provide clear, advice on costs and outcomes 

Collaborative and supportive 

We believe the best legal outcomes require great teamwork. We work closely with colleagues and professional partners to find the innovative, practical solutions that support our clients. 

Responsive and efficient 

We understand that time is often critical in legal matters. Our team is responsive, proactive, and committed to resolving the challenges you face as quickly and efficiently as possible. 

Innovative and adaptable 

We always pursue the right option, not necessarily the easy one. We seek new ways to deliver the right results for our clients and drive change in our approach to benefit everyone. 

These are our values and they guide our actions, but we accept they will change over time as we adapt our business to the changing economic, legal and regulatory landscape. But you should be assured that we will help you address the challenges you face, and we are all here for you.
