Event
Managing your disability in the legal profession: support, adjustments & so much more
“It was empowering to hear from a disabled lawyer, an often-underrepresented voice present at other graduate events.” Chloe, University of York.
Judging from the huge number of law firms that MyPlus Students’ Club works in partnership with, the legal sector is taking disability employment more seriously than any other sector. Recognising the unique skills and talents that disabled individuals can bring to the workplace, law firms are working hard to ensure their recruitment processes are inclusive, support is available, and that individuals can thrive in the workplace.
During this webinar, you will hear from a number of individuals, including trainees and qualified solicitors, who will share their experiences of managing their disability within the legal profession. They will share their insights and experiences of accessing support both during the recruitment process and in the workplace, talking to their colleagues about their disability, and the role of Disability Networks in the workplace.
Our speakers include:
- Ghazi AbuYouni, Allen & Overy
- India Rose M, Fladgate
- Georgia Crossman, Reed Smith
The session will be interactive with plenty of opportunities to ask questions.
