Inside a global deal

With Macfarlanes

Apply to attend

Join us on the afternoon of Thursday 6 August for a virtual event with Macfarlanes, where you'll hear from the M&A team as they walk you through their market-leading practice.

M&A Partner Felicity Powell will share her experience advising on large-scale, cross-border deals for major corporate clients, offering insight into Macfarlanes' distinctive global strategy, the approach that underpins their international deal-making and the way the firm draws on its "good friends" network to get deals over the line around the world.

You'll also gain commercial insight into current market trends and the way the wider macroeconomic environment is shaping deal-making, before the Early Careers team reflects on the skills that future lawyers will need to develop to thrive in this fast-evolving landscape.

After a presentation and short Q&A, there will be virtual networking with the speakers, Macfarlanes trainees and members of the firm’s Early Careers team.

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