Legal Cheek’s latest student event is in London.

The session — which takes place on the evening of Tuesday 19 November — features lawyers and graduate recruitment teams from Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner (BCLP), Gowling WLG, Ropes & Gray and Squire Patton Boggs, alongside a legal education expert from Barbri.
 
The speakers will give their respective takes on the big commercial awareness issues of the moment, including Brexit and rising global trade tensions, the turning economic cycle, the tech revolution and the emerging green economy.
 
They will discuss how these themes are affecting their practices and consider their implications for the next generation of lawyers. At the same time the speakers will reflect on their own career journeys and advise students how they can follow in their footsteps. There will be a particular focus on working internationally.
 
After the Question Time-style discussion, which will be chaired by a Legal Cheek journalist, there will be drinks and networking with the speakers and a collection of trainees and members of the firms’ graduate recruitment teams.
 
Apply to attend below. You’ll be asked to submit a CV and two questions for the panel.
