The initiative

Not everyone starts
with the same information

More From Law was created in 2020 as a social initiative to promote access to the legal profession and equality of opportunity.

Reliable information, useful conversations and development opportunities are not evenly distributed. Some people pick them up at home, or from a family friend who happens to be a solicitor. Everyone else works it out alone, often after the deadline has passed.

This site open-sources the kind of insight that usually gets passed on privately. Podcast interviews with people from across the profession and beyond it, and free resources organised by where you are in your journey. And there's plenty more on the way!
