City Solicitors Horizons (CSH) Marks A Decade of Impact

The Legal Diary reports on the 10th anniversary of City Solicitors Horizons.

Bugle call for City Solicitors Horizons (CSH) the social mobility programme now celebrating a decade of improving access into the legal profession for undergraduates from under-represented backgrounds.

Adam Badawy, a CSH graduate and now Trainee Associate at Freshfields LLP, is clear about the importance of the organisation in helping him to get his first foot on the legal ladder. “Without City Solicitors Horizons, I would not have secured a training contract,” he says. “The programme provided invaluable insight into a profession where I had no existing connections, gave me the confidence to excel in interviews, and offered unique opportunities to develop cultural capital. I’m deeply grateful for the transformative support this programme offered”.
