[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 74187, member: 2672"] A job in a law firm is not forever. People move because they can find something better for them, whatever their circumstances. Yes, there are a whole host of reasons why a black people may not be represented on a firm's website . What I would stress is that most firm's are pretty concious of their representation on anything presented externally and how that will be perceived. But I have lost count with people I have asked to be in such materials marketing or at careers events who have said no purely because they feel they are being rolled out purely because of their characteristics (gender, disability, ethnicity, age/career changers, LGBTQ+) and don't agree with the concept of them being "profiled" in a public way. For anyone who is interested, I recommend reading some of the Bridge Group's reports. Although they are social mobility focused, they show that as certain demographics do get "rolled out" all the time for events, they can often find it more difficult to balance this with their day job, because the demands on them are greater than the "over-represented" groups.
