WE NEED YOU! ‘Look up and Beyond’ seeks early career talent.. With the momentum for our project building and lots of work to be done, we are reaching out to friends, colleagues and allies who wish to help us reach our goals. We are looking to set up a “Early Stage Focus Group” to help us better reach and understand what early career talent needs to help it grow and remain in the Scottish legal industry, to make the profession truly representative of society, at all levels. These will be voluntary roles and as such the time commitment and responsibility will be kept to a minimum. We are looking for diverse insights, maximum enthusiasm and an inclusive ‘can do’ attitude - we promise, no time recording! We value the ‘often missing’ knowledge and skills that early talent in the legal industry can contribute and how it can help us ask the right question and find fitting solution for lasting change.

Breaking my vow not to say anything on #iwd2024 (partly because there is so much noise & partly because I get so fed up with the silly themes promoted by the corporation that sprung up to take over the whole thing). Talk is easy. What’s more tricky is actually doing something. And then measuring the IMPACT. So v pleased Reignite Academy working with DLA Piper to create opportunities for “career break” lawyers to relaunch their careers. Programmes like this don’t just impact the women who make it onto the programme, they demonstrate just how much potential is out there. They might even Inspire Inclusion 😭 Link here to workshop for those who want to explore the opportunities . Or DM me https://lnkd.in/eKu9Dk2t

🌟 Excited to Share My Experience at the 'Insight into Clifford Chance Event! 🌟 I recently had the privilege of attending the Insight into Clifford Chance online event organised by Young Professionals and it was an enlightening experience! ⚖️✨ The event provided a unique opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the legal profession and what it takes to thrive in a leading international law firm. Throughout the session, industry professionals shared their personal journeys and insights into the various roles within Clifford Chance. Their stories highlighted not only the challenges but also the immense rewards of pursuing a career in law. One of the key takeaways for me was the importance of networking and building relationships within the industry. The speakers emphasised how connections can open doors to valuable opportunities and mentorships. This resonates with my commitment to actively engage with professionals in the legal field as I pursue my aspiration of studying law. Additionally, I gained valuable insights into the firm’s culture and values, which focus on collaboration, diversity, and innovation. Understanding the significance of these aspects has reinforced my desire to work in an environment that promotes inclusivity and encourages diverse perspectives. Thank you to Young Professionals for organising such an impactful event! I am eager to apply what I learned as I continue to navigate my journey toward a successful legal career. 💼🌍 #InsightIntoCliffordChance #YoungProfessionals #LegalCareer #Networking #FutureLawyer #ProfessionalDevelopment
