Our Ethos

5SAH ethos is one of inclusivity. We celebrate diversity and encourage applications from barristers from all backgrounds. We run a fair selection process that aims to recruit bright candidates who also demonstrate flair and personality. We recruit on merit and ability. All applicants receive the same equal treatment, regardless of race, colour, ethnic or national origin, disability, gender, gender identity or gender expression, sexual orientation, religion or belief, and background. 

We encourage and welcome applications from women, Black, Asian, minority ethnic individuals, barristers with neurodivergent conditions, disabled people, and those who are LGBTQ+, as well as applicants from other underrepresented groups or backgrounds.

Please get in touch with us if you need reasonable adjustments in relation to disability, neurodiversity, or other needs or personal matters that may not be visible.

You can also follow us on Twitter @5SAHLaw, Linkedin, and YouTube for further updates on when we are recruiting.
