Why tax is interesting — with Pinsent Masons

Thursday 9 October, 4pm to 6pm, taking place virtually


THIS EVENT IS NOW FULLY BOOKED.

Join us on the afternoon of Thursday 9 October for a virtual student event with Pinsent Masons.

The theme is tax – and, specifically, why it’s one of the most interesting practice areas out there.

Making the case for tax will be Pinsent Masons legal director Penny Simmons and corporate tax associate Sihana Cara.

With tax very much in the news at the moment, amid a focus on how Western governments will fund their growing debt without recourse to spending cuts, there is much to talk about.

Date: Thursday 9 October 2025
Time: 4pm to 6pm
Location: Virtual event
Level: Students, Graduates

For tax lawyers like Simmons and Cara, acting for companies who are being forced to think about tax harder than ever, it’s been a busy time.

Simmons and Cara will discuss their work at the intersection of politics, business and the law, highlighting interesting recent work and reflecting on the qualities lawyers need to excel in this area.

After a presentation and Q&A there will be virtual networking with the speakers, Pinsent Masons trainees and members of the firm’s early talent team.

This event is now fully booked.
