Join us on the afternoon of Wednesday 11 November for a virtual student event with Shoosmiths, exclusively for first-year students.
The theme is understanding corporate law firms. A panel of Shoosmiths lawyers will take students on a journey through the ecosystem of law and business, explaining law firms’ role advising companies on everything from mergers to disputes.
They’ll explore the relationship between private practice lawyers at law firms and in-house lawyers in companies’ legal teams, considering how these two groups interact on the deals that power the economy. And they will share insights on how law firms win new clients, and maintain relationships with existing ones, while also discussing some of the key principles of how law firms charge for their services and develop themselves as businesses.
The speakers will reflect, too, on their career journeys to date and give advice to first-year students hoping to follow a similar path.
After short talks and a panel discussion there will be virtual networking with the speakers, Shoosmiths trainees and members of the firm’s early talent team.
This event is exclusively for students in their first year of undergraduate study or in their second year of a four-year course. For other students and graduates, make sure to check out our other upcoming events and fairs.
Apply to attend above. You’ll be asked to submit two questions for the firm.
