Bates Wells, Browne Jacobson and Freeths have become the latest law firms to join Project Rise, a scheme to widen access to the profession by offering part-time solicitor training.

Part-time training (fewer than 32 hours per week) will help aspiring solicitors with caring responsibilities or other obstacles to full-time training.

Lubna Shuja, president of the Law Society, said five firms were now part of the scheme, the other two being Eversheds Sutherland and Osborne Clarke.

Malcolm Headley, training principal at Bates Wells, said: ‘Diversity of experience matters to us.’
