Womble Bond Dickinson is a leading transatlantic law firm with offices based in Plymouth and Bristol. Our intimate knowledge of the South West markets and our highly experienced teams provide support to local businesses, initiatives, projects and developments.

“We are delighted to support the Diversity Business Incubator and the Grand BAME Business Gala to celebrate the amazing work of BAME businesses and entrepreneurs across the region.”

As a firm, we understand the importance of diversity and inclusion. We focus on nurturing a spirit of equality, fairness and mutual respect and challenge non-inclusive behaviour, working hard to ensure that difference is valued and welcomed and equal opportunities are available to all. WBD is committed to fostering a work environment that aims not only to benefit its business and people but also to influence the legal profession, clients and suppliers to create a truly inclusive society.

Through our Race, Ethnicity and Cultural Heritage network (WBD REACH), LGBTQ+ (WBD Pride), Disability and Women's Career Development groups, there's always a safe and connected environment for our people and allies to share their experiences. We're in constant dialogue with our people about how we expand our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion networks to better support everybody.

This year we have been shortlisted as a finalist in the Outstanding Ability Network of the Year category at the prestigious British Diversity Awards 2024. We also achieved the Gold Employer Award by the Stonewall Equality Index 2023 in recognition of our initiatives to foster inclusive and safe workplaces for all of our people and where everyone feels empowered to be their real selves.
