Understanding corporate law firms — with Shoosmiths

Thursday 14 November, 3pm to 5pm, taking place virtually

Join us on the afternoon of Thursday 14 November for a virtual student event with Shoosmiths.

The theme is understanding corporate law firms. A panel of Shoosmiths lawyers from across a range of different practice areas and locations will take students on a journey through the ecosystem of finance and business, explaining law firms’ role advising companies on everything from mergers to disputes.

Date: Thursday 14 November 2024
Time: 3pm to 5pm
Location: Virtual event
Level: Students, Graduates

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 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.

Apply to attend. You’ll be asked to submit two questions for the firm.
