Creating an inclusive and diverse workplace is an essential part of who we are. We want to make law more accessible, and our work experience is just one way we are trying to achieve this.

We work with many Equality, Diversity and Inclusion partners to provide legal work experience and opportunities across the firm, such as Pathways to Law, VisionPath and #10000BlackInterns.

Work experience is vital in making law more accessible and we know it can be very tricky to attain.
