About Us

BLD, also known as the Black Lawyers Directory, was launched in 2006 and was the brainchild of Debo Nwauzu. BLD's aim is to make a real difference on diversity by changing lives and transforming businesses by taking positive actions - not just talking. We highlight areas where a lot is being done and areas that could do better. We also provide information and showcase the talent of black and ethnic minority members of the legal profession. Our aim is not to name and shame but to encourage, cajole and ask: "Why not?"

“The LLP scheme has been a great learning experience for me. Through the training sessions, I have gained the skills and knowledge of what it takes to carve out a career in the legal profession. I would encourage other fellow Law students to apply for the LLP scheme!”
