STEM Focus: Life as an intellectual property lawyer

With Bristows

Apply to attend

Join us on the afternoon of Thursday 8 October for a virtual student event with Bristows.

Bristows is a firm renowned for its expertise in the life sciences and technology sector. This exciting event gives students the opportunity to explore life as an intellectual property (IP) lawyer, as well as an insight into what it is like to work at an innovative law firm like Bristows.

Lawyers from across the firm’s practice areas will be reflecting on their career journeys and offering tips and advice for STEM students and graduates hoping to follow this pathway. Expect insights into how technical backgrounds can translate into exceptional legal expertise, including how IP law blends scientific knowledge with commercial strategy.

There will then be virtual networking with the speakers, members of the firm’s graduate recruitment team and Bristows trainees.

This event is exclusively for science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) students and graduates. For law and humanities students, make sure to check out our other upcoming events and fairs.
