Start-ups, business and the law — with Osborne Clarke

Tuesday 23 September, 4pm to 6pm, taking place virtually


Join us on the afternoon of Tuesday 23 September for a virtual student event with Osborne Clarke.

The theme is start-ups: we’ll be exploring how they’re founded, grow and integrate into the wider corporate ecosystem — and what role lawyers play in this process, from creative adviser to hard-headed dealmaker.

A panel of lawyers from Osborne Clarke will discuss their experiences in this always-interesting sector. They’ll explain how they helped to launch some now widely-known companies, reflect on the challenges they faced as they grew and discuss the choices more mature businesses face to go public with a stock market listing, be acquired by bigger rivals or continue to operate privately.

Date: Tuesday 23 September 2025
Time: 4pm to 6pm
Location: Virtual event
Level: Students, Graduates

The speakers will also share insights from their own career journeys and give advice to students hoping to follow a similar path.

There will then be virtual networking with the speakers, Osborne Clarke trainees and members of the firm’s graduate recruitment team.

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