Released on:
28/08/2009
The Law Society are running a series of focus groups to examine the experiences of Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) solicitors in private practice. It follows their recent salary survey that identified several issues around pay inequality for BME solicitors.
They would like to:
- get a better understanding of the experiences of BME solicitors on entry to the profession and in career progression
- identify a range of possible solutions and ways of empowering BME entrants and established professionals
Discussion group details
The discussion groups will provide valuable insight and information and will provide members with a unique opportunity for shaping strategies for making a difference for future BME entrants and established professionals.
A discussion group will last up to 1.5 hours and will be moderated by a member of their research team, but key findings and suggestions will be reported in anonymised form to protect the confidentiality of group participants.
Evening groups will be held between 21 September - 9 October in London , Manchester and Birmingham - refreshments will be provided and reasonable travel expenses covered. Full details will follow.
