Enriching our Alchemy of Talent

Diversity & Inclusion

Diversity and inclusion are not just about words, but about actions. Our firm is committed to ensuring that all colleagues feel welcomed, comfortable, and happy working in a diverse and inclusive environment.

We have established a variety of important partnerships for diversity and inclusion, for example, we have signed the Talent to the Top charter, a unique partnership between the government, the private sector and senior businesswomen and have embraced the declaration of intent for ‘Diversity in the legal profession’, as well as the Chambers D&I Charter. Other organisations with whom we are proud to work are Lequal, Bridges Network, and the Forward foundation, who use their expertise to help make Loyens & Loeff the inclusive firm we want to be. A firm where everyone, regardless of gender, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation or cultural background, will feel at home and has the equal opportunity to reach their personal goals.

Chambers D&I Charter

The Chambers D&I Charter is a public pledge we have signed, to address the root causes of inequality in the workplace by committing to the following D&I principles:

  • We believe in a diverse and inclusive legal profession
  • We have or will establish a D&I strategy to build a diverse and inclusive workplace culture
  • We will implement our D&I policies across our teams and our wider ecosystem
  • We aim to attract, recruit and promote diverse talent and set appropriate targets as required
  • We will annually review our D&I strategy and policies
  • We will appoint an executive leader as a charter champion

Lequal

Lequal is dedicated to promoting cultural and intersectional diversity within the legal profession in the Netherlands, with a particular focus on professionals with a multicultural background. Our aim is to create a more inclusive and diverse legal environment, especially in commercial law firms. Additionally, we provide a platform for legal professionals with a multicultural background and allies/supporters thereof where they can meet and exchange experiences. By questioning and challenging the current norm within the legal profession, we aim to make our work environment more reflective of the cultural diversity that exists in society.

FOREWARD Foundation

We are partnered with Stichting (Foundation) FOREWARD, whose mission is to encourage the acceptance, validation and visibility of the LGBTQ+ community within the Dutch legal profession. With this, FORWARD aims to create a platform for the exchange of experiences and best practices in order to promote an inclusive environment for all legal professionals, regardless of sexual orientation or identity, which is important to Loyens & Loeff’s diversity and inclusion mission.

Legal Diversity & Inclusion Alliance

We are pleased to be one of the founding members of the the Legal Diversity & Inclusion Alliance (LDIA), a collective effort by several law firms in Belgium. By joining LDIA, member firms affirm their commitment to creating a diverse and inclusive work environment, exchange good practices on diversity and inclusion, and raise awareness of non-discrimination and diversity issues by combining efforts in organising events, workshops, and training, among others.

Our LDIA membership is a further demonstration of the firm’s commitment to diversity and inclusion. As the legal industry in Belgium deepens its focus on matters related to diversity and inclusion, Loyens & Loeff is delighted to be among the firms leading this effort.”

Bridges Network

Bridges Network’s mission is to bridge the gap between bicultural/first-generation students and the (commercial) legal profession, the judiciary, the public prosecutor’s office, and the business community.
