Top UK law firms unite to launch social mobility scheme

Comment

I echo comments made by Anonymous | 12-Sep-2011 11:38 am. I come from a relatively modest background, growing up in South Wales. A friend grew up on a council estate in Southend. We both went to Cambridge and qualified into Magic Circle firms. Although I don't remember anyone making special allowances for me in view of my background - there didn't seem to be too many barriers circa 1995 and I'm sure my friend would say the same - I would hope that this social mobility scheme will extend to the type of area where we grew up. Hopefully, it won't just be an opportunity for law firms to burnish their PC credentials in inner-city London.
