Why the Legal Social Mobility Fund?
In the UK, solicitors are three times more likely to have attended a fee-paying or independent school and are half as likely to come from a lower socio-economic background. We want to change this.

The Legal Social Mobility Fund is solely focused on supporting aspiring solicitors from lower socio-economic backgrounds with the expenses that come with pursuing a legal career.

LSMF is an extremely supportive organisation and has been critical to my being able to pursue a career in law. Barriers are not always as big as imagined. Sometimes, with help, they are simply small obstacles. LSMF can be that help.”
