The DiversCity in Law event was a fantastic opportunity to hear the stories of inspirational LGBTQIA lawyers and gain hugely valuable application coaching and advice. It left me feeling more confident in my applications and in pursuing a career as an LGBTQIA lawyer.

This event is invaluable for LGBTQIA candidates. It gives you the insights, networking opportunities and confidence you need to make the most of your training contract applications for leading law firms.

The contacts I made during the event put me in an incredible position to progress my career, and gave me the confidence that I can do so without hiding who I am. The mentoring scheme offered alongside the event is also an unmissable opportunity, my mentor was absolutely fantastic!

DiversCity is different from any other networking event I have ever been to. It gives real insight into life as a LGBTQIA City solicitor, with some truly inspiring speakers and stories. I was impressed with the strong sense of solidarity within the LGBTQIA legal profession, as well as the numerous opportunities which, thanks to that same community, were made available to me. Moreover, DiversCity’s mentoring programme is a unique and invaluable resource which was fundamental in helping me to secure a training contract with a top international City firm for 2017.
