Wednesday 13 November, 4pm to 6pm, taking place virtually
Join us on the afternoon of Wednesday 13 November for a Legal Cheek virtual student event in partnership with Pinsent Masons.
The theme is pro bono. We’ll be hearing how global law firms use their expertise and resources to help those unable to pay for legal advice.
At Pinsent Masons, lawyers are encouraged to spend 25 hours a year on pro bono or corporate social responsibility (CSR) related matters. Speakers, including London-based technology disputes solicitor Meghan Higgins, will discuss some of the recent pro bono matters they have worked on and explain how they balance such commitments with advising commercial clients.
Time: 4pm to 6pm
Location: Virtual event
Level: Students, Graduates
We’ll also hear about the way in which students, trainees and junior lawyers can use pro bono to help develop their legal skills and give an extra dimension to their professional lives, while providing a valuable service to those in need.
After short talks and a panel discussion there will be virtual networking with the speakers, Pinsent Masons trainees and members of the firm’s graduate recruitment team.
Apply to attend. You’ll be asked to submit two questions for the firm.
