Global firm Eversheds Sutherland has teamed up with a client, logistics firm Wincanton, to offer uniquely structured work placements for Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) law students. Five undergraduate or post-graduate students will be offered a placement from 10-14 December, working with lawyers from Eversheds and Wincanton to gain experience from both private practice and in-house perspectives. They will also be given an insight into what to expect during an assessment process and how best to showcase their abilities. Naeema Choudry, partner and BAME champion at Eversheds Sutherland, said: ‘Wider ethnic representation in all areas of the legal profession is a key goal of our business, and something I am personally committed to.’ Interested candidates should contact aspire@eversheds-sutherland.com to register interest.
