Our flagship series of 'How To' events aim to help students in their legal studies and career path by offering opportunities with firms and organizations. We cover various topics, including networking and interviews, to prepare penultimate and final year students for vacation schemes and training contracts. The series has been highly successful, enabling members to gain valuable insights and become strong candidates for the legal industry.
NETWORKING
At Taylor Wessing, focus is placed on the four core sectors changing the face of tomorrow: technology, media and communications, life sciences and healthcare, private wealth, and real estate, infrastructure and energy. Their clients range from promising new start-ups to multinational leaders of industry, with a client base that includes 60% of the world’s top 50 brands.
Networking is a useful skill in any industry, particularly in the legal one. This workshop was part of our 'How-To' Grassroots Series in teaching our members how to meaningfully interact with firm representatives. This will help students feel prepared to talk to lawyers and staff of every level law firms.
