The DiversCity in Law event was a fantastic opportunity to hear the stories of inspirational LGBTQ+ 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 LGBTQ+ lawyer.

This event is invaluable for LGBTQ+ 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 LGBTQ+ City solicitor, with some truly inspiring speakers and stories. I was impressed with the strong sense of solidarity within the LGBTQ+ 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.
