Diversity campaign group Aspiring Solicitors has signed up four new member firms, adding Travers Smith, Mayer Brown, Kirkland and Ellis and Chadbourne & Parke to its roster of firms committed to increasing access to the legal profession.

Launched in September last year, the group initially featured 10 founding members, including Norton Rose Fulbright, Clyde & Co, Dentons, Wragge Lawrence Graham & Co and Atwells. With the addition of the new members, a total of 16 organisations are now on board.
