Two students have accepted offers from Russell-Cooke to join the firm this summer as part of the 10,000 Black Interns programme. Each will complete a paid six-week internship.
Chelsea Aba joins the firm on 8 July and will intern until 19 August, and Lucas Wallace will be joining from 19 August until 28 September. Each will circulate around a number of legal teams across the firm’s broad practice in emulation of the structure of a training contract.
The 10000 Black Interns programme offers paid work experience across a wide range of sectors (including legal) each year, providing critical training and development opportunities. At present the plan is that 24 industries will provide 10,000 internships in aggregate over five years.
Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Partner Sarah Richardson says:
This is the third time we have welcomed candidates as part of the 10,000 Black Interns programme since signing up in 2022. The programme seeks to provide opportunities to students and graduates, and we are proud to continue to support this programme. We are delighted to welcome Chelsea and Lucas this summer and hope their experience of working at Russell-Cooke is interesting and fulfilling, and contributes positively to their career journeys. Congratulations to both and we look forward to working with you!”
