The 4 students pictured above were amongst half a dozen of Brunel Law students who took part in a 3-day Central London residential training in TargetChances City Law for Ethnic Minorities. This event was aimed at supporting law students from ethnic minorities to succeed in joining the law profession where they continue to be under-represented.
The city law firms that are involved in this programme at the moment are: Allen & Overy, Baker & McKenzie, Berwin Leighton paisner, Clifford Chance, C/M/S Cameron McKenna, DLA Piper, Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer, Herber Smith, Linklaters, Lovells, Macfarlanes, Mayer Brown, Norton Rose, Reed Smith, Reynolds Porter Chamberlain LLP, Slaughter and May, Travers Smith and Well Gotshall & Mages.
The three days were amazingly educative and an eye-opening experience. The training, which took place at many of the above participating firms, included an introduction to city law, skills sessions, case study, presentations, panel discussion and networking opportunities.
