Overview
In a sector where only 38.3% of partners and 40% of lawyers attended state school, despite the fact that 93% of the UK population attended non fee paying schools, the Breaking Down Barriers to Law project looks at how social mobility in the legal profession can be improved across the country, with a focus on regional firms and the key role they play.
This event in the House of Commons will launch the Breaking Down Barriers to Law Action Plan, bringing together participating law firms, MPs, Members of the House of Lords and other key stakeholders to celebrate the great work of the participating firms.
