Weightmans’ Early Careers team has delivered a range of initiatives in its ongoing work to inspire and empower the next generation of law talent, in partnership with Everton in the Community. Five successful candidates have been accepted onto the firm’s Internship into Law programme, in partnership with charity, Everton in the Community, and will join Weightmans in the summer for a one-week paid placement at the Liverpool office. Following a four-month process involving applications, presentations and debates, the interns were selected and given a celebratory event held in the Royal Liver Building in Liverpool to meet key members of the HR and early careers teams. They were also treated to a talk from last year’s intern, Muhi, who has since gone on to secure a solicitors degree apprenticeship with the firm, starting in September. Since launching in January 2023, more than 100 young people from across Everton in the Community’s Secondary Education Pathways programme have competed for a place in the initiative, with a total of 15 participants securing themselves an internship with the law firm to date.
