This year’s STEM Future Lawyers panel discussion and law fair takes place virtually from 3-5pm on Tuesday 4 November.
The flagship virtual event for science, technology, engineering and maths students interested in legal careers features lawyers from science backgrounds and graduate recruitment teams from leading London-based global law firms.
It commences with a panel discussion with lawyers from Bird & Bird, Bristows, Clifford Chance and Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer. Speakers from these firms will share how they became lawyers after originally studying STEM subjects. They will also explain how their STEM backgrounds have helped them in their legal careers.
Time: 3pm to 5pm
Location: Virtual event
Level: Students, Graduates
As the legal profession embraces new technology to become more efficient, those who possess a combination of legal and tech skills have found themselves in high demand. Over the years ahead, these multi-skilled STEM lawyers will have an important role to play as law firms re-imagine their traditional structures to accommodate artificial intelligence and other lawtech.
At the same time, legal practice areas like intellectual property and patents have a long history of attracting science graduates interested in the law, whose specialist knowledge gives them an edge.
The speakers
• David Pemberton, associate in the intellectual property (IP) team at Bird & Bird (pharmacy graduate)
• Nicholas Round, senior associate in the patent litigation team at Bristows (physics graduate)
• Isabella Savage, associate in the intellectual property (IP) team at Clifford Chance (natural sciences graduate)
• George McCubbin, senior associate in the intellectual property (IP) team at Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer (chemistry graduate)
After the panel discussion there will be a virtual law fair with the above firms, featuring a host of trainee solicitors with STEM backgrounds who will be on hand to chat informally about their career journeys to date.
This event is now fully booked.
