‘Transformative support’: City lawyers mark social mobility success

The City Solicitors Horizons (CSH) social mobility programme celebrated its 10th anniversary this week, a significant milestone in the London legal profession’s journey toward greater inclusivity.

Myung Cho, an associate at A&O Shearman, said: “The City Solicitors Horizons programme was fundamental in my journey to a City law firm. It equipped me to navigate the expected social norms of working in a professional environment and even taught me the realities of sensible business dress attire. It gave me access to an industry that felt very far away when I started at university. Without the programme, I am not sure I would have ended up in the position I am today.”

CSH’s multi-year, mentorship-driven model and guaranteed work experience arguably set it apart. A decade on, CHS is not just a programme – it’s a proven pathway to progress. Here’s to 2035.
