The legal profession is changing
Employers tell us they want realistic, resilient candidates who know what they are getting into before they accept a role. Candidates want flexible roles, with a work-life balance in a variety of sectors like charities and niche areas of law as well as city firms, and more importantly, want to be given a chance.
The new entry points and pathways to qualification provide the legal sector with a unique opportunity to break entrenched unconsciously biased recruitment practices and evolve into a more meritocratic diverse profession.
Our Mission
To open the legal sector to anyone with the ability to qualify as a legal professional and to ensure that the demands of the legal sector, for diverse talent serving diverse needs, are met.
We promote a more holistic way for aspiring paralegals and solicitors to think about their legal career and build their QWE when and how they want
Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion sit at the heart of our ethos
We want the profession to be open to everyone and reflect the society we live in. If finances are hindering your progress, there are financial support and work schemes supporting candidates to complete their studies or their QWE. If you are an overseas qualified lawyer, we have dedicated advice and tips to help you navigate your legal career in England and Wales.
