NationalLawLIVE to offer students a taste of law outside London

Having now run CityLawLIVE successfully for three years, LawCareers.Net was keen to capitalise on the success of this unique format to reach out to those who are not as keen on a career in the City. Thus, NationalLawLIVE (NLL) was born!

This exciting student-focused conference will be held on Friday 4 December 2015 in Manchester at the Museum of Science & Industry (MOSI). The full-day programme is a mix of panel discussions, workshops and networking. Specifically, it offers:

• advice on crafting excellent applications, shining at interview and forging a successful career;
• insight and advice from some of the UK’s most experienced recruiters and lawyers; and
• opportunities to chat to those same recruiters and lawyers, as well as to fellow delegates.

Our impressive roster of sponsor firms will be taking a hands-on role during the day, with interactive workshops which drill down into what it’s like to work in a particular practice area within a large UK firm. They’ll also be on hand during the breaks; networking is one of the key benefits of the day, and the firms’ representatives are happy to talk to delegates, offer advice and generally get to know those in attendance. Our confirmed sponsor firms are as follow:

• Addleshaw Goddard
• DLA Piper
• Eversheds
• Irwin Mitchell
• Nabarro
• Osborne Clarke
• Shoosmiths
• Squire Patton Boggs

A full page of FAQs and detailed information is available here. If you’re a first or second-year law undergraduate or in the early stages of converting to law (or thinking about it), with a sound academic record (minimum of a 2.1 and ABB at A level), then this is a great event for you. We will be opening the application system later this month, so stay posted for announcements on LC.N, Twitter and Facebook.
