The programme is designed to give first year university students a
real insight to life as a commercial lawyer and the work that we do at
Baker McKenzie.
Our aim is to equip students with the skills and knowledge that they
need to pursue their career when they return to university; this will
be done by a series of interactive workshops, shadowing, networking
and one-to-one sessions with graduate recruitment. The first year
insight scheme will take place in our London office.
To be eligible for this programme, you must be in your first year of
study at a UK university.

Our Commitment to Diversity & Inclusion
Baker McKenzie has a culture of diversity and inclusion in its DNA -
since our beginning, the differences of our people have helped us to
work fluently across borders, cultures and practices. This is
intrinsic to everything we do and underpins Baker McKenzie's vision to
be the global law firm of choice. We understand that organisations
work best when people with different backgrounds and points of view
are brought together. We also know people perform at their best when
they can be themselves at work. Baker McKenzie is committed to serving
our clients with innovative solutions brought about by a diverse
talent pool and an inclusive community.
The London office mirrors the wider firm in encouraging the best
people, regardless of race, culture, religion or belief (if any),
gender, gender identity and expression, disability, sexual orientation
or age, to fulfil their professional aspirations with us so as to
create an exciting and diverse legal environment.
