Thriving in law: Perspectives from lawyers with ethnic minority backgrounds

Every lawyer's journey into the profession is different, and our backgrounds often shape the experiences we have along the way. In this session, our panellists will reflect on their own careers, sharing the opportunities, challenges and support that have influenced their progression as lawyers with ethnic minority backgrounds. We'll explore what genuine inclusion looks like in practice, how representation is evolving across the legal profession, and the role everyone can play in creating inclusive workplaces. Along the way, you'll hear practical advice on building confidence, finding support, progressing within a firm and choosing an employer where you can truly thrive.
