Beyond the law firm: Why qualifying as an in-house lawyer might be right for you

Thursday 27 February, 4pm to 5:30pm, taking place virtually


The in-house legal sector is rapidly expanding, with in-house lawyers now making up just over a quarter of all legal professionals. As more organisations grow their legal expertise in-house, exciting career opportunities are emerging for lawyers seeking a dynamic and business-focused role.

Join us on the afternoon of Thursday 27 February for our latest virtual student event all about working in-house in the legal team of a company. We’ll be joined by industry experts and recently qualified in-house lawyers to explore the benefits of working in-house, from career growth opportunities and variety to improved work-life balance. The speakers will also break down what in-house legal professionals do, the skills employers are looking for, and how to successfully apply for these sought-after roles and thrive in an in-house environment.
