Black, Asian & Minority Ethnic (BAME) Subcommittee: Useful Information

Our BAME Subcommittee has created a useful list of organisations and groups that can provide support on a whole host of issues to enable our members across the Cardiff and District legal community to feel upskilled in terms of how to support themselves and other BAME colleagues in the profession. 

If you have any ideas or suggestions for our list, please contact the Chair of the Subcommittee, Trish D'Souza: t.dsouza@capitallaw.co.uk

We regularly host BAME events and coffee mornings for lawyers in Cardiff & District and you don't have to be a member to join us.

To sign up to our mailing list, please email yourvoice@cardifflaw.org and send us your preferred contact details. You may unsubscribe at any time.
