Biscoes Legal Services: Advocating for Women and Work-Life Balance in Portsmouth
We are thrilled to announce Biscoes Legal Services as a proud sponsor for the Inspirational Women of Portsmouth Awards 2024. A special thank you to Alison Lee for spearheading their support, embodying the Firm’s commitment to empowering women and fostering an inclusive community in Portsmouth.
Biscoes Legal Services: Pioneering Legal Excellence for 170 Years
Biscoes Legal Services, with its storied 170-year history, stands as a testament to progress and dedication in the Portsmouth legal community. The Firm has notably embraced gender diversity within its leadership, with six of its 11 directors being women, a significant milestone since appointing its first female partner in the mid-1980s.
Innovative Workplace Policies for Employee Well-being
Biscoes takes pride in its forward-thinking approach to employee welfare and work-life balance. The Firm has introduced an array of employee benefits aimed at supporting its staff’s diverse needs. These include flexible working arrangements, self-managed paid time off, paternal leave, and a child care voucher scheme. Additionally, employees benefit from 8% pensions and healthcare cashback, which extends to children at no extra cost. Moreover, Biscoes has implemented thoughtful policies addressing menopause, stillbirth, and miscarriage, demonstrating a deep understanding of the emotional needs of its employees.
A Commitment to Supporting Inspirational Women in Portsmouth
Biscoes Legal Services’ sponsorship of The Inspirational Women of Portsmouth Awards 2024 underscores its dedication to highlighting the exceptional achievements and mutual support among women in the local community and beyond. This initiative aligns with the Firm’s ethos of elevating women and recognizing their contributions to society.
Empowering the Community and Promoting Inclusivity
The Firm extends its advocacy beyond the legal realm, with several directors and employees volunteering their time with local organisations that support girls and women, such as the Girls’ Network, Aurora New Dawn, and Shaping Portsmouth. Through these actions, Biscoes demonstrates its commitment to fostering an inclusive environment that empowers women from all walks of life.
A Cheer for Women’s Achievements
“If we all believe we can achieve our goals and support one another along the way, then we will. There is nothing better than being another woman’s cheerleader!” This sentiment from Biscoes encapsulates the Firm’s vision of mutual support and collective success among women in Portsmouth and beyond.
