Ethnicity

Ethnicity: Best Initiative to Attract and Retain Talent   

This will be awarded to the best project intended to attract lawyers of colour at a graduate/junior level and to retain them.  Submissions are open to UK firms and international firms operating in the UK, as well as in-house legal teams and The Bar. Submissions should demonstrate a targeted strategy and evidence of results.     

Ethnicity: Champion of the year (Individual)  

This category acknowledges exceptional individual contributions to boosting representation of lawyers of colour within the legal profession over the last year, covering private practice, in-house and the Bar. Judges will be looking for evidence of involvement/leadership of key initiatives to attract and retain ethnic minority lawyers within the profession or involvement in broader, industry-wide initiatives. Please note this award could go to someone junior driving the effort – not just someone senior.
