Re-launched in 2016, BSN North celebrates and champions the region’s talented Black legal professionals. Under the leadership of Co-Chairs Dan Adejumo and Elle Sue Calderbank, BSN North brings together individuals who are passionate about equality, creating opportunities to connect, collaborate, and drive fair access, career progression, and greater representation for Black lawyers and law students across the legal profession.

As part of this mission, BSN North established a student-centred initiative called Grassroots. Grassroots is dedicated to supporting aspiring solicitors in fulfilling their potential through educational workshops, networking opportunities, and mentoring programmes designed to provide guidance, inspiration, and practical support throughout their legal journey.

For established legal professionals, BSN North offers a range of seminars, social events, and professional development opportunities that help members expand their networks, enhance their profiles, and further their careers within the legal sector.
