HFW is a leading global law firm with deep sector expertise across shipping, commodities, construction, insurance, aerospace, energy and renewables. We are committed to fostering an inclusive workplace where everyone feels valued, respected and empowered to reach their full potential. We believe that diverse perspectives, backgrounds and experiences strengthen our thinking, broaden our perspective and enhance the service we provide to clients.
As part of our commitment to widening access to the legal profession, we partner with organisations, charities and communities to help create opportunities for talented individuals from underrepresented backgrounds. Through mentoring, work experience, scholarships, bursaries and apprenticeships, we aim to remove barriers and support the next generation of legal professionals.
HFW is proud to be the headline sponsor of the Black Solicitors Network’s Grassroots Programme. The programme’s focus on identifying, developing and supporting aspiring Black legal talent closely aligns with our commitment to creating a more inclusive profession. We recognise that investing in emerging talent is essential to building a stronger, more representative legal sector, and we are delighted to support participants as they develop the skills, networks and confidence to succeed.
We work with experts and law firms to fulfil the roles we have designed for each of the five workshops. The 2025-2026 Programme Partners are below.
