International law firm acquires a market-leading Diversity & Inclusion (D&I) consulting company 

International law firm Pinsent Masons has announced its acquisition of Brook Graham, a market-leading Diversity & Inclusion (D&I) consulting company for an undisclosed fee.

The acquisition will enable Brook Graham, which specialises in the strategic management of D&I in global companies, to expand into new sectors and territories powered by the reach of Pinsent Masons’ international, sector-focused presence.

By joining forces in this way, Pinsent Masons and Brook Graham will offer a more holistic approach to developing commercially and legally sustainable solutions for creating more diverse and inclusive workplaces.

The acquisition marks a further commitment by Pinsent Masons to provide innovative and comprehensive solutions to the most pressing challenges facing its clients. Most recently, the firm acquired a minority stake in ‘New Law’ start-up business Yuzu. The firm also has a majority stake in cloud-based compliance venture Cerico, and has recently expanded its legal resourcing hub, Vario, into Australia.

Richard Foley, senior partner of Pinsent Masons says:

“We take a holistic view of the challenges that our clients face and have a successful track record of investing in businesses that have the potential to help our clients overcome these. Brook Graham is a scalable business with a strong reputation and an impressive client base to match. D&I is high on the agenda for organisations and combined with our own international network, legal expertise and dedication to D&I, I’m confident that clients will reap the benefits of this valuable combined offering.”

Lesley Brook, co-founder of Brook Graham says:

“Pinsent Masons is a leading international law firm with more PLC clients than almost any other law firm and a genuine commitment to D&I, making it the perfect cultural fit for Brook Graham. The firm provides a stronger operational platform from which to grow the business and be able to provide current and future clients with holistic D&I services and solutions which make a sustainable difference. We are delighted to be joining forces with Pinsent Masons to make this happen.”

Jacey Graham, co-founder of Brook Graham says:

“Brook Graham has established itself as a market-leading D&I consultancy since 2004 and the demand for our services continues to surge. Pinsent Masons has a reputation for innovation and the mind-set for driving positive change that we need in order for the business to continue moving from strength to strength.”
