LGBTQ+ lawyers share their stories

With Ropes & Gray

Join us on the afternoon of Wednesday 1 November for an IN-PERSON student event with Ropes & Gray, at the firm’s City of London office.

Ropes & Gray is one of London’s leading international law firms for private capital clients. It advises sophisticated private capital investors and providers on fundraising, transactional dealmaking and financing, antitrust, compliance, data protection, restructuring, private equity real estate, life sciences regulation, financial regulation, tax and more.

We’ll be hearing from several of Ropes & Gray’s LGBTQ+ lawyers about life in corporate law, their experiences at the firm and their career journeys to date, including some of the obstacles they have had to overcome and the support they have received. The speakers will also offer advice for those hoping to follow a similar path.

After short talks and a panel discussion there will be networking over drinks and canapes with the speakers, Ropes & Gray trainees and members of the firm’s trainee recruitment team.

Ropes & Gray offers 12 training contracts in London each year, and pays its newly qualified solicitors £147,000.
