Sussex Law Diversity
Diversity Data Statement – June 2025
At Sussex Law Solicitors, we are committed to promoting equality, diversity and inclusion within our firm and the wider legal profession. As part of our regulatory obligations, we collect diversity data in accordance with the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) requirements.
In June 2025, we gathered updated diversity data from our team and reported this data to the SRA. However, due to the size and structure of our firm, publishing detailed data could risk identifying individual staff members. In line with SRA guidance, we have therefore chosen not to publish a full breakdown in order to maintain confidentiality and protect anonymity.
We remain proud of the diversity policy within our firm and continue to foster an inclusive and supportive working environment. For more information on the SRA’s diversity requirements, please visit:
https://www.sra.org.uk/solicitors/resources/equality-diversity/your-data/
Diversity makes for a broader, richer environment that produces more creative thinking and solutions. We believe that promoting diversity is essential to the success of our firm. It is also the right thing to do.

PROPERTY CONVEYANCING
For a buyer the stages of conveyancing are as follows:
Stage 1: Instructing a conveyancer
Once you have found your property and your offer has been accepted the vendor’s estate agent will request your conveyancer’s details to pass on to the sellers’ solicitors. It is best to do your research and select who you would like to act on your behalf so that you can act quickly once your offer has been accepted.
The conveyancer acting for the seller will prepare a legal information pack which will include a draft contract, a fixtures, fittings and contents form, a property information form and the legal title to the property.
