THIS EVENT IS NOW FULLY BOOKED.
Join us on the afternoon of Wednesday 20 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.
The firm, which offers 15 training contracts a year and pays its newly qualified solicitors £165,000, is looking to attract more under-represented populations and among its objectives is the recruitment of more Black future lawyers.
We’ll be hearing from several of Ropes & Gray’s Black lawyers about life in corporate law, their experiences at the firm and their career journeys, while getting their advice for those hoping to follow a similar path.
The speakers
• Jake Bennett, counsel in finance team
• Alma Yasin, associate in finance team
• Emilio Fabrizi, associate in private equity team
• Kwame Adzatia, associate in finance team
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.
This event is now fully booked.
