Hope Levy-Shepherd

Hope is an active member of the Linklaters Ethnicity and Race Network (LEARN) and was one of the committee members involved in developing the firm’s Race Action Plan. She was a key part of the team which coordinated Linklaters’ first-ever client webinar series on Black identity at work and the most junior lawyer on a panel alongside senior leaders on intergenerational experiences of Black women in law. Hope used her experiences as a mentor on Linklaters’ pilot reverse mentoring program to deliver talks to clients on launching their own reverse mentoring schemes. Outside of Linklaters, Hope is co-founder of the Black British City Group (“BBCG”), a cross-sector network of Black professionals in the UK empowering Black communities through programs which leverage members’ collective skills and resources. For example, BBCG runs an e-mentoring careers program for Black university students facing cancelled internships as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.
