The skills future lawyers need to thrive

With Mayer Brown

Apply to attend

Join us on the afternoon of Tuesday 29 October for a virtual student event with Mayer Brown, where we will be focusing on the skills future lawyers need to thrive.

As Legal Cheek’s reigning ‘Best law firm for training’, with consistent A* scores in this category of Legal Cheek’s annual trainee survey over a number of years, Mayer Brown has a longstanding reputation for developing excellent lawyers.

But what specifically does the firm look for in new talent and how does it help to hone those qualities? Lawyers from Mayer Brown involved in the training process will answer this question, while associates and trainees who have benefitted from their instruction will also give their take.

We’ll consider, too, how legal practice has evolved in recent years, changing corporate lawyers’ roles to a certain extent, and requiring the acquisition of new skills. And, in this context, we’ll hear from the speakers about their own career journeys to date.

After a series of short talks and a panel discussion, there will be virtual networking with the speakers, Mayer Brown trainees and members of the firm’s graduate recruitment team.

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