DEI Governance

A word from our leaders

Andrew White - National Managing Partner and D&I Advisory Committee Member

The success of Sparke Helmore’s D&I strategy is largely determined by our ability to attract and retain high-calibre people, who connect with our clients.

We have worked strategically and intentionally to embed equality and inclusion into our culture.

Each of us is responsible for ensuring we give life to that culture through our words, actions and choices on a daily basis.
