Message: <blockquote data-quote="Anthony - Paul Weiss" data-source="post: 184962" data-attributes="member: 37313">Hi both,There is absolutely no bar to applying based on someone's academic background (this is also stated in the FAQs of our graduate recruitment website). Whilst there are associates and partners who have studied at the universities mentioned above, there are lots of others who have studied at different universities (including myself!). During this growth phase we have sought to hire talented, ambitious and entrepreneurial individuals from a range of different backgrounds based on their talents and not just what university they studied at.In terms of what we are doing to take an intersectional approach to recruiting, in addition to some of the D&I initiatives we have mentioned on the forum you will have seen we have created a unique, first of its kind vacation scheme which seeks to remove the social barriers to entry for many people considering a career in corporate law. I would encourage you to take a look at our website for more information, but in summary this vacation scheme includes accommodation paid for and arranged by the firm (for those candidates who do not live in London or otherwise require accommodation requirements), paid travel to and from the office, free breakfast and lunch provided by the firm and a grant to purchase professional work clothes. This is just one of the examples demonstrating the firm's commitment to hiring excellent candidates from a range of socio-economic and diverse backgrounds.Kind regards,Anthony</blockquote>

Verification: Our company is called, "The Corporate ___ Academy". What is the missing word here?
