Join us on the afternoon of Tuesday 12 November for a virtual student event in partnership with The University of Law (ULaw) exploring the big commercial awareness themes that aspiring lawyers need to focus on as they apply for vacation schemes and training contracts.

The event kicks off with a panel discussion chaired by a Legal Cheek journalist featuring lawyers from DWFGoodwin Procter, Irwin Mitchell, Lewis SilkinMorrison Foerster and TLT, alongside a careers expert from ULaw.

The speakers will consider key topics including the boom in artificial intelligence (AI) and the shift to a greener economy, as well as the effect of tumultuous geopolitics – and explain how their effect shapes clients’ priorities and the day-to-day lives of lawyers. They will also discuss their career journeys and give advice to students hoping to follow a similar path.

After the panel discussion there will be virtual networking with some of the speakers, early talent team members and trainees from their firms, and ULaw campus ambassadors.

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