Beyond the Brief: How leading law firms are closing the neurodiversity gap in their wellbeing strategy
A VIP breakfast for HR and people leaders in the legal sector to discuss how forward-thinking law firms are embedding neurodiversity support into their wellbeing strategy - and why it matters for retention, performance, and culture.
Speakers


The legal profession runs on precision, analytical thinking, and the ability to manage complexity. Many of the qualities that make exceptional lawyers - pattern recognition, hyperfocus, lateral thinking - are also hallmarks of neurodivergent minds. Yet too many law firms still lack the structures to identify, support, and retain this talent.
Join us for an intimate breakfast to explore how leading legal employers are moving beyond tick-box inclusion and building genuinely neurodiverse-affirming workplaces.
When: Tuesday 2nd June | 09:00AM – 11:00AM
Where: The Ivy Tower Bridge
We'll discuss topics such as:
- The hidden neurodiversity gap in law - what the data tells us about undiagnosed and unsupported employees in the legal sector
- Building an effective business case for neurodiversity support, from assessments and adjustments through to specialist clinical care
- How to design wellbeing strategies that close the gap between policy intent and lived employee experience
- Practical steps your firm can take today to attract, support, and retain neurodivergent talent
We will also discuss the critical gaps between EAP provision, PMI coverage, and the specialist support neurodivergent employees actually need.
This Friends of Fertifa breakfast offers a space to connect with peers across the legal sector and leave with actionable insights to shape a more inclusive, future-proof people strategy.
