Law has long been a profession reserved for the elite, a space dominated by privilege and wealth, accessible only to those with connections or means. But the industry is shifting, and the gates are opening.

Now more than ever, what sets you apart isn’t just technical expertise or prestige.

In this conversation I'm talking with Patrick McCann director of learning at Linklaters, training committee chair of the City of London Law Society and co-CEO of City Century designed to empower students from diverse backgrounds to pursue a career in law they may have never thought possible.

Today, Patrick opens up about his own challenges breaking into the legal profession, the obstacles faced by aspiring lawyers from diverse backgrounds, and how the industry is evolving.
