Life as a global finance lawyer

With Ashurst

On Tuesday 19 October Legal Cheek is partnering with Ashurst to hold a virtual careers event for students focusing on life as a global finance lawyer.

A panel of Ashurst lawyers will assess the changing landscape across the finance sector and offer their views on what opportunities the years ahead will bring. In particular they will focus on the rising cost of money, as a wave of post-pandemic inflation starts to drive up interest rates and borrowing costs, and the continuing evolution of fintech, as it reshapes the banking sector.

There will also be a focus on how Ashurst is working internally to improve service delivery: students will hear how the firm’s NewLaw division, Ashurst Advance, is utilising technology to help deliver innovative solutions to its clients.

At the same time the speakers will discuss the skills required to make it as a finance lawyer and give advice for students hoping to specialise in this area in the future.

After the panel discussion there will be virtual networking with the speakers, Ashurst’s graduate recruitment team and some of the firm’s trainees.

Apply to attend above. You’ll be asked to submit two questions for the panel.
