The programme, Ethnic Minority Access Scheme, has been developed with diversity organisation Aspiring Solicitors. It will provide six paid, one-week placements in London and Manchester.
Candidates will be paired with a supervisor and a mentor. The first cohort will begin the programme in April 2021.
DWF partner Seema Bains said: ‘Unfortunately our industry still does not reflect the society we live in, and that really needs to change.’
