The Bright Futures - Black Talent programme offers first year law, or penultimate year non-law undergraduate students from black heritage backgrounds an opportunity to gain commercial work experience.
The week-long, hybrid programme includes 3 days in our London office, giving you the opportunity to shadow one of our lawyers and meet many more through networking and panel sessions. You'll be able to develop an understanding of our core industry sectors and learn how we help our clients to achieve their commercial objectives. You will also meet the Early Careers Team who will support you with your journey into law, through organising development sessions and networking opportunities.
Impress us at the end of the week in an assessment centre and you could be fast-tracked on to our 2025 Vacation Scheme.
