About The Event
Law firms don’t run on lawyers alone. Behind every deal and every case is a team of people keeping the business moving: in legal operations, technology, risk, finance, business development, HR and more. These are well paid, fast moving careers at the heart of global firms, and most students never hear about them.
The Business of Law opens that door. Join us at Watson Farley & Williams for an evening with the people who do these jobs every day. Hear how they got there, what the work involves and how to get in, then meet them over drinks.
Who it’s for
Students and graduates and career changers who want to work at a leading commercial law firm but don’t want to become a solicitor. No law degree needed.
What you’ll get
A clear picture of the business roles inside a law firm and where they lead
