Family law: Life, litigation and real-world client work
What is it really like to practise family law? In this session, the BPP team will interview a panel of practising family lawyers to explore the realities of working in this challenging and deeply human area of practice. The discussion will cover the nature of the work, the skills required to succeed and the personal qualities that are particularly important when advising clients through significant life events. Students will gain a clearer understanding of the day-to-day experience of family lawyers and the routes into this rewarding specialism.

ChatGPT said what? The age of generative AI in law firms
As generative AI becomes increasingly embedded across legal services - from contract automation and research tools to predictive analytics and client-facing solutions - the legal sector faces a pivotal moment. Law firms are under pressure to innovate responsibly, align with rapidly developing regulations, and reimagine traditional models of delivering legal advice.
This panel will explore the evolving role of AI in law: not just as a tool, but as a transformative force impacting workflows, talent structures, client risk, and regulatory landscapes. Our panellists - lawyers working directly with legal technology or advising clients on its risks - will provide front-line insight into how firms are embracing innovation while grappling with ethical, professional, and legal challenges.
This is a must-attend for students looking to understand how law and technology intersect and what the next generation of lawyers must be prepared for.
