Wednesday 7 October, 4pm to 6pm, taking place virtually
Join us on Wednesday 7 October for a virtual student event with Burges Salmon, exploring how lawyers help deliver the UK’s transition to a low-carbon economy.
Burges Salmon works with clients on major energy and infrastructure projects, helping turn ambitious ideas into real projects that support the shift to a lower-carbon future.
During the session, lawyers from the firm will bring this work to life by sharing what it is like to advise on projects connected to clean energy, innovation and long-term change.
Time: 4pm to 6pm
Location: Virtual event
Level: Students, Graduates
They will also explain how different teams across the firm work together on complex matters, and how legal advice can shape projects from early planning through to delivery.
The speakers
• Jess McGee, resourcing business partner
• Gregor Hayworth, director of the energy & utilities disputes practice
• Charlotte Cocker, solicitor in the real estate team
• Caitlin Preston, solicitor in the real estate energy team
• Alex Hounsome, trainee solicitor
You will get a clearer sense of the decisions lawyers help clients make, the challenges that can arise on large-scale projects, and why this area of work is so important for the future. Alongside insight into their work, the speakers will share their own career journeys and practical advice for students interested in a career where law connects with climate, infrastructure and commercial change.
After short talks and a panel discussion there will be virtual networking with the speakers, Burges Salmon trainees and members of the firm’s early talent team.
