Feedback from previous participants

Having been to many events previously, I feel as though this one stood out. As a disabled person, I often feel underrepresented, especially in the workplace, however, I left today with a whole new light and motivation.
— Hasan, Birmingham City University
The employee panel was the most impactful element. Hearing specific examples of adjustments and career progression stories from disabled professionals at Linklaters made the concept of workplace support feel concrete and achievable.
— Robert, South Bank University London
A massive thank you for arranging such a brilliant event and bringing together so many inspiring companies. It made my career goals feel much more attainable and gave me a real boost of confidence. It was also great to network with employees and other students in similar positions.
— Matthew, University of Exeter
Thank you again Helen… You entered the room with confidence and a huge smile on your face, making everyone feel like we belonged there and that we do stand a chance, no matter how different we are.
— Lillia, KCL
I left the event with a different outlook on my disability, and I feel much more confident to take the step and apply to magic circle firms.
— Charlotte, University of Southampton
Explore the Law made the once impossible seem possible and quelled any fears.
