#CMSBuildingBetterFutures Hub, believed to be the first-of-its-kind in the UK legal sector, provides insights into CMS, the workings of the legal industry, and some of the many different roles that make up a commercial law firm. It contains resources to help young people develop the key skills required for further education and the world of work.

Penelope Warne, senior partner at CMS UK, said: “CMS is committed to building better futures for all. Engaging with young people and supporting students by providing access to quality educational programmes has always been a core part of this work. We believe the creation of #CMSBuildingBetterFutures Hub will make a real difference in delivering rewarding and sustainable futures.” 

Emily Catterwell, senior CR manager at CMS UK, added: “The COVID-19 pandemic is creating significant challenges and is having a detrimental effect on young people across all of our local communities. As a firm, our face-to-face interaction with young people has been paused. Many are unable to access information and insight into the world of work as well as employability skills training that is offered by employers year-round. We hope our #CMSBuildingBetterFutures Hub will be a welcome form of support for young people during these rather strange times and beyond.”
