Join us on Thursday 17 September 2026 for a virtual student event with Ashurst Perkins Coie.
Earlier this year, Ashurst and Seattle-based US firm Perkins Coie completed one of the most significant transatlantic law firm mergers of the decade, creating a global firm with market-leading expertise across the sectors driving digital and economic transformation. Combining strengths in technology, energy and infrastructure, financial services, intellectual property and litigation, the merger brings together two firms with a shared commitment to innovation, positioning Ashurst Perkins Coie at the forefront of advising clients on the complex legal challenges shaping the global economy.
This event will explore how the firm’s combined strengths are shaping its work across the digital economy, projects and finance. Lawyers from both legacy firms will discuss the impact of the merger, the opportunities it creates for clients, and how technological developments, including AI, are transforming legal practice across these fast-evolving areas.
Alongside insights into the firm’s work, the speakers will reflect on their own career journeys and discuss the skills, mindset and commercial awareness needed to succeed as a lawyer in an increasingly technology-driven profession.
After the panel discussion there will be virtual networking with the speakers, Ashurst Perkins Coie trainees and members of the firm’s early talent team.
Apply to attend above. You’ll be asked to submit two questions to the firm.
