“You’ll never make it”: a message that I. Stephanie Boyce heard repeatedly when she said she hoped to become a solicitor.
People from working class backgrounds are under-represented in the solicitors' profession, even more so at senior levels.
Our immediate past president, Stephanie joins discussions with expert speakers on how we can remove barriers to entry and progression, and advance social mobility in the legal profession.
In partnership the Bridge Group, our panel explores socio-economic diversity in the profession, looking at who gets in and who gets ahead – as well as possible solutions and initiatives to boost social mobility and support aspiring solicitors from lower socio-economic backgrounds.
