It begins with a panel discussion chaired by a Legal Cheek journalist, who will put questions to the panel about key commercial awareness issues, including opportunities arising for law firms in the wake of Covid-19. The speakers will also be encouraged to discuss their career journeys and advise students hoping to follow a similar path.

• Charlotte Walker-Osborn, international head of artificial intelligence and technology at Eversheds Sutherland
• Christian Toon, chief information security officer and Birmingham’s head of business operations at Pinsent Masons
• Sharon Banga, senior associate in the medical negligence team at Shoosmiths
