Serle Court partners with the 10,000 Black Interns

Serle Court is delighted to announce its participation in the 10,000 Black Interns scheme, a programme aimed at transforming the horizons of young Black talent with paid internships across over 25 sectors.

The scheme was set up in 2022 in response to the stark underrepresentation of Black talent in the founders’ industries. Initially the group aimed to place 100 Black students and graduates in internship positions within investment managing – a goal that was quickly eclipsed.

Following the success of the pilot, the goalposts were moved to 10,000 Black interns in five years. With 2,500+ internships already offered to Black students and graduates, the scheme is fast on its way to its next milestone.

Serle Court will be joining the programme’s ‘Legal: The Bar’ offering, giving Black students and graduates the opportunity to gain insight into lives of barristers and providing them with invaluable skills should they wish to pursue a career at the Bar, or indeed any other facet of the legal industry.

This partnership joins Serle Court’s growing commitment to diversity and inclusion, and follows a recent roundtable discussion with BUCKLESconnect on how to get women onboard in law.

We are very excited to be at the forefront of change in the legal sector and look forward to a future where diversity is championed across the board.
