The latest in Legal Cheek’s new 2021 series of Secrets to Success virtual events — held in association with The University of Law (ULaw).

It begins with a panel discussion chaired by a Legal Cheek journalist, who will put questions to the panel about key commercial awareness issues, including opportunities arising for law firms in 2021. The speakers will also be encouraged to discuss their career journeys and advise students hoping to follow a similar path.
