Welcome to the fifth in the 2022-23 series of The Legal Cheek Commercial Awareness Academy, a partnership with BARBRI and various leading law firms, designed to help boost students’ business and legal sector knowledge as they apply for training contracts.
The fifth and final Academy in the series takes place on the afternoon of Wednesday 10 May with a session on technology and the future of law delivered by Adam Curphey, senior manager of innovation at Mayer Brown.
Adam will cover key themes including:
• How law firms are using legal tech to boost efficiencies and enhance their client offering
• The ways in which technology is shaping the future of law
• Key legal and non-legal skills aspiring solicitors should build given the increasing importance placed on innovation
• How students should be engaging with legal tech
Adam will also look back on his career journey to date and how he came to specialise in legal tech.
The talk will be followed by a Q&A between Adam and BARBRI’s director of business development, Jonathan Worrell, to ensure full understanding of the topic. There will then be virtual networking with BARBRI’s SQE team.
Apply to attend above. You’ll be asked to submit two questions for the panel.
This is the fifth in a new series of five Commercial Awareness Academy sessions, running from autumn 2022 through to late spring 2023. After each session you will be required to sit a short test to demonstrate your understanding of the topic. If you pass all five tests, you will receive a certificate of completion.
