  • Be an Aspiring Solicitors member (from at least one of our underrepresented groups);

The Scheme greatly enhanced my confidence in pursuing a legal career as a STEM student.

I loved meeting the other mentees and mentors. We got to see so many different aspects of the business. We met trainees, associates, partners and clients. It really was a 360 experience.
