This panel discussion will be of interest to barristers, solicitors, in house counsel, law students and other legal professionals.

The aim of the event is to promote accessibility within the legal profession for people with disabilities. It is also to enhance awareness about disabilities and to promote diversity and inclusion within the profession.

There will be a panel discussion where our first two speakers will speak about their legal careers. Access Earth will provide best practice examples and ideas for improvement in accessibility for everything from courthouses to conference centres and transport.
