Birkbeck Law Society is proud to host an EDI-focused panel discussion bringing together a diverse range of legal professionals to explore diversity, equity and inclusion within the legal profession. This event will feature an honest and engaging conversation on navigating the law as a minority, sharing lived experiences, challenges, and successes across different career paths and backgrounds.
The discussion will address key issues affecting individuals from Black and ethnic minority backgrounds, LGBTQIA+ communities, neurodivergent professionals, and those living with disabilities or long-term health conditions, while also recognising the vital role of allies in driving meaningful and lasting change. Panellists will reflect on how workplace cultures are evolving to become more inclusive, the impact of EDI on both professionals and client relationships, and the practical steps students can take to champion inclusion and equity throughout their own careers.The session will conclude with an interactive audience Q&A, offering attendees the opportunity to engage directly with speakers and gain tailored advice.
This event aims to inspire thoughtful dialogue, provide actionable insights, and empower students to actively contribute to a more inclusive and equitable legal profession.
