The firm, which offers 15 training contracts a year and pays its newly qualified solicitors £165,000, is looking to attract more under-represented populations and among its objectives is the recruitment of more Black future lawyers.

We’ll be hearing from several of Ropes & Gray’s Black lawyers about life in corporate law, their experiences at the firm and their career journeys, while getting their advice for those hoping to follow a similar path.

After short talks and a panel discussion there will be networking over drinks and canapes with the speakers, Ropes & Gray trainees and members of the firm’s trainee recruitment team.

Apply to attend. You’ll be asked to submit two questions for the speakers.
