Bright Network Future Lawyers 2022
This September, we're looking for 100+ of our brightest penultimate year members to join us for Future Lawyers Top 100. This exclusive virtual event is designed to help you develop the skills and insights needed to secure a coveted Vacation Scheme or Training Contract.
Demonstrating your passion for a particular firm is one of the key qualities that employers look for in applicants. This event is perfectly positioned to help you gain a nuanced understanding of the differences between each of the top law firms joining us, and find out which one suits your goals, interests and values best. What’s more, you'll be able to network directly with representatives from each law firm attending and gain unique insights that will set you apart from others this upcoming application season.
Join us virtually on 13th September to hear from 10 of the top global law firms in valuable panel, networking and skills sessions!
