Higgs is championing mentoring and promoting opportunities for aspiring Black lawyers by working with industry campaigners and thought leaders to bring awareness to underrepresentation in the legal sector. Sophie Wardell, People Director at Higgs commented, "Actions speak louder than words, and unless law firms actively engage in trying to bring about change, progress will be slow. I know we will continue to build long-term relationships with Birmingham Black Lawyers, The Tyro Lawyer CIC and Birmingham Law Society's REACH Sub-Committee, and seek to create further meaningful opportunities." As we mark the end of Black History Month, we look back at all the initiatives we have supported this year... https://lnkd.in/euASwWzQ Kishma Bolaji | Tamina Greaves | Shaid Parveen | Claire Rankovic #BlackHistoryMonth #EDI #blacklawyers
