As a global top 10 law practice, Eversheds Sutherland provides legal advice and solutions to an international client base which includes some of the world’s largest multinationals. Eversheds Sutherland partners with the Sutton Trust to support our Pathways to Law programme, a two-year programme which offers young people the opportunity to explore what studying law and entering the legal profession might be like. As submissions open for the 2023 Social Mobility Foundation Employer Index, the team shared with us what they have achieved through their partnership with the Sutton Trust and why tracking their internal progress on social mobility is important to them.

At Eversheds Sutherland we are committed to supporting social mobility and education. We offer support to young people from less advantaged backgrounds to help them broaden their horizons and access opportunities, with a focus on educating on careers in the legal profession.
