Join Rt Hon Justine Greening and Seema Kennedy OBE as we launch our first sector wide, Opportunity Action Plan.

“Earlier this year, the Purpose Coalition, a group of the UK’s leading policymakers, businesses and university vice chancellors, launched the Levelling Up Goals.

This report looks at the work that the 15 law firms are already doing in the context of these goals. Levelling up will pay huge dividends for the country, especially for those who have been hardest hit by the pandemic. Law firms have a fundamental role to play in bridging the gap between potential talent and the opportunities that the legal sector can offer.

Potential candidates and current employees increasingly expect their business to have a positive social impact and those that can demonstrate what they are doing are likely to reap the rewards. This report looks at the work that some firms are already carrying out and the solutions that they can help deliver to level up law which can act as an example to other sectors and industries.”
