From high-profile transactions to international client work, City law firms offer trainees the chance to work on complex matters from the very start of their careers. In this session, our panellists will share what life at a City firm is really like, exploring the work they do, the responsibility they've been given and the culture they've experienced. We'll discuss everything from commercial awareness and cross-border work to teamwork, emerging trends such as AI and ESG, and the realities of life as a junior lawyer. You'll also hear the advice our speakers wish they'd received before starting their own careers in City law.
