Breaking Down Barriers to Law: Action Plan Launch

Overview

In a sector where only 38.3% of partners and 40% of lawyers attended state school, despite the fact that 93% of the UK population attended non fee paying schools, the Breaking Down Barriers to Law project looks at how social mobility in the legal profession can be improved across the country, with a focus on regional firms and the key role they play.

This event in the House of Commons will launch the Breaking Down Barriers to Law Action Plan, bringing together participating law firms, MPs, Members of the House of Lords and other key stakeholders to celebrate the great work of the participating firms.  

Speakers

  • Rt Hon Victoria Prentis KC MP, Attorney General for England and Wales

  • Rt Hon Ed Argar MP, Minister of State for Justice

  • Rt Hon Justine Greening, Chair of the Purpose Coalition and former Secretary of State for Education

  • Nick Forbes CBE, former member of Keir Starmer’s Shadow Cabinet
