About this event

  • 2 hours 30 minutes

OK, Partnership is not for everyone. But for those who aspire to reach the top tier in their firm, the pathway can feel poorly defined. In this Career Enhancer Workshop, we connect with the people in the know – including HR Leaders and Senior Partners – to explore what the path to partnership can look like, and to discuss the skills and experience aspiring Partners should begin building now to increase their chances of success.

The career enhancer series is open to lawyers and business services professionals, looking to develop insights and grow their network in a collaborative environment.

The InterLaw Diversity Forum works to foster inclusion for all diverse talent working in the legal sector, and to promote meritocracy in all sectors by working to 'level the playing field' in order to create environments where the best talent can succeed.

Since its founding in 2008 the InterLaw Diversity Forum has expanded its scope beyond LGBT+ to encompass all strands of diversity and inclusion, including Race & Ethnicity (BAME), Disability, Gender, and social mobility, with a particular focus on cultural change in the workplace and 'multiple identities'/intersectionality.

​Events and membership are free and open to anyone working in the legal sector, both lawyers (including private practice and in-house counsel), as well as non-lawyers and business services staff.

InterLaw’s work can be broken down into four key pillars supporting: (1) diverse and disadvantaged individuals in the profession; (2) law firms, chambers and legal employers; (3) government and regulatory bodies; and (4) the wider community.

The InterLaw Diversity Forum currently has more than 8,500 members and supporters from over 300 law firms and chambers, and over 500 corporates and financial institutions.​

The InterLaw Diversity Forum is a volunteer-led and run as a not-for-profit.
