2026 REACH Mentoring Programme

The REACH mentoring scheme supports motivated Black individuals with ambitions in law. Through this scheme, mentees have the opportunity to meet and interact with experienced mentors, gain valuable knowledge, and clarify their career aspirations whilst developing skills and insights that can contribute to lifelong success in the legal profession.

Applications are welcome from:

• Students in year 12 or 13
• University students
• Graduates

Individuals who currently hold an offer of a training contract are not eligible to apply.

The programme will run for six months beginning in April 2026. Mentees and mentors will be matched at a launch event at our Birmingham office on 2 April 2026. All expenses to attend the event will be covered.

Subject to engagement during the first half of the programme, mentees may be offered a period of paid in-person work experience. Please select your preferred office location when applying.

Should we receive a particularly high volume of applications, the application deadline may be brought forward.
