Lucy Sallows takes to TikTok to share her experience of attending our first hybrid student event
At Legal Cheek’s recent hybrid event, where students could attend both in-person and virtually, a panel of lawyers working in Clifford Chance’s environmental, social and governance (ESG) team gave attendees an insight into the deals and projects that they have been working on.

Then, after the presentation, both virtual and in-person attendees has the opportunity to ask panel members any questions they had before heading off into a networking session with the firm’s trainees, lawyers and graduate recruitment team.
