Black Lives Matter – Chambers Statement

News

Goldsmith Chambers is deeply saddened and appalled by the killing of George Floyd and the events in Minneapolis and elsewhere that exemplify systemic racism and violence against BAME people. Racism, prejudice, unequal treatment and excessive use of force offends the rule of law. 

Equality before the law and equal treatment should be enshrined as a key principle of every legal system. Everyone is entitled to be treated with dignity and respect by the law enforcement officials charged with protecting them. 

Goldsmith Chambers reaffirms our total commitment to the promotion of equality, diversity and inclusion within Chambers, the profession and the community we serve. As a Chambers and as individuals we take responsibility to listen, learn and change. We commit ourselves to being part of the solution.
