Diversity Survey 2025

Introduction

Firms regulated by the SRA are required to collect report and publish workforce diversity data biannually. DFA Law LLP carried out a survey in July 2025.

Our survey response rate was 68%. As a result we believe the results do not necessarily represent our staff as a whole. Furthermore, the data we are able to publish is limited to ensure compliance with the ICO’s code of practice and data protection principles. The results that we are able to publish are as follows:

The percentage of our workforce who completed the survey:

Partners/members    89%
Solicitors                     68%
Other staff                  57%

2% of people completed the survey by ‘ticking’ the preferred not to say response
