Beyond the law firm: Why qualifying as an in-house lawyer might be right for you

Register to attend

The in-house legal sector is rapidly expanding, with in-house lawyers now making up just over a quarter of all legal professionals. As more organisations grow their legal expertise in-house, exciting career opportunities are emerging for lawyers seeking a dynamic and business-focused role.

Join us on the afternoon of Thursday 27 February for our latest virtual student event all about working in-house in the legal team of a company. We’ll be joined by industry experts and recently qualified in-house lawyers to explore the benefits of working in house, from career growth opportunities and variety to improved work-life balance. The speakers will also break down what in-house legal professionals do, the skills employers are looking for, and how to successfully apply for these sought-after roles and thrive in an in-house environment.

The speakers

Robert Dudley, head of employability and engagement at Barbri
Emma Levin, head of legal at Onebright
Chris Macfarlane, VP and regional deputy general counsel at Peloton Interactive 
Bennie Ben-Ovio, competition paralegal at Vodafone

After the panel discussion there will be virtual networking with the speakers and BARBRI SQE experts for follow-up questions and further careers advice.

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