At Wotton Kearney, we believe in creating an equitable and inclusive workplace where everyone can thrive. As Chief Executive Partner, I am proud to share our progress in addressing the gender pay gap (GPG) and reaffirm our commitment to driving meaningful change within our firm and across the legal profession.  

Over the past year, we have made significant strides in reducing our gender pay gap. This reflects our dedication to fostering a culture that values diversity, champions equity, and celebrates inclusion. Transparent pay practices, targeted development opportunities, and programs to support women in leadership have been instrumental in this journey. 

Guided by our ethos of being Trail Blazers, Big Thinkers, and Impactful Humans, we’re inspired to reshape the legal industry, think critically about solutions to complex issues like the GPG, and make meaningful impacts through our actions.
