It's not a "thing" in law firms here. I worked in two for decades.

He is 25 and mostly dating women over 30 as he says most people around him are older so little choice here unless he goes on relationship apps which he has little time for in an entry level career. She is worried he would get trapped by someone desperate and hitting "expiry date" and regret later.

Before this he only dated women his age or one year older or younger. Is this a common occurrence here? They are well off and he is her only child born after a very long fertility battle so she is more protective than your average DCUM mom.

What’s uncommon is him supposedly thinking or telling you any of this.

If they are looking for younger men, then they are irresponsible and just working a scam, or floozies.
A woman should always marry a few years older than themselves (5-20 years) to get a mature man who will be responsible. An older woman and a younger man spells disaster, as she hits the wall just as he is starting to peak in looks and he will leave her.

Hi OP,

Could you maybe go along on the dates with him, to check these older women out and offer advice to him?

+1. My MIL was very much like your cousin - when we met, I was 33 and my husband was 27. He wasn’t bothered by the fact that I am older and he was way more concerned about the immaturity of the younger women. The fact that I had a proven track record of being self-supporting probably helped too .

Parents do care for what happens to their adult children's lives, more so if its a life altering situation. They don't have to interfere to fear.
