from aspiring to inspiring lawyers!
Founded in 2019, Law City is committed to advancing social mobility and championing diversity and inclusion within the legal sector. We empower aspiring lawyers from underrepresented and low socio-economic backgrounds by providing them with essential information, resources, and opportunities, and by facilitating meaningful connections with leading legal professionals in the City of London.

Our initiatives encompass hosting exclusive events that enable students to network with top-tier legal practitioners, offering invaluable insights into the profession. We also deliver interactive workshops designed to stimulate discussion, encourage diverse viewpoints, and equip young people with the practical skills and knowledge necessary to develop and progress in their legal careers. Through these efforts, we are dedicated to fostering a more inclusive, equitable, and representative legal profession.

Our Network Say
Matrix hosted a successful Law City Insight into Law event in January this year. Our Equality and Diversity Officer, Isabel Baylis, sat on the panel in a discussion on careers in the legal industry and I spoke about myself as Chief Executive of Matrix and my career journey.
At Matrix we were very happy to support Law City for this event as the organization plays an important role in helping students and young people gain a better understanding of different areas of law, as well as how to start a career in the legal industry
