News Achieve programme Highly Commended at prestigious People in Law Awards 20 May 2025 | 1 minute read We are delighted to share that our Achieve Vacation Scheme has been highly commended in the Excellence in Diversity and Inclusion category at the People in Law awards. Our Achieve Vacation Scheme seeks to improve access to legal careers for individuals from under-represented groups within the UK workforce. The programme combines theoretical knowledge, practical experience, and soft skills training to build participants’ confidence in pursuing a career in law. "This week has shown me that I have the potential to thrive in this career, and it’s given me clarity and motivation for the next steps ahead." Achieve programme participant "Creating real pathways into careers that were once out of reach for many is not just the right thing to do – it also strengthens our firm and our wider community. Recognition like this reminds us that inclusive progress is possible, and we’re just getting started." Kat Crisp, Emerging Talent and HR Projects Manager We have now hosted two cohorts of Achieve participants, with the most recent group joining us in April 2025. We look forward to welcoming the first trainees from this programme who will join the firm in September 2025. .
