Baker McKenzie Aspiring Solicitors evening event

Up to 40 Aspiring Solicitors members will have the chance to attend this event at this international firm’s London office between 5pm and 8pm.

The firm utilises the expertise of 12,000 people in 77 offices worldwide. The firm is guided by entrepreneurial spirit and demanding standards of its founders and works to forge close personal relationships among its professionals in order to foster the responsiveness and accountability clients expect. 

Whilst the event is open to everyone, the focus is to allow those who are balancing their applications to firms alongside full time jobs, with an opportunity to come in to Baker McKenzie. Many individuals secure training contracts after years of trying, this event will provide students with the opportunity to meet successful individuals who have had a similar journey, highlighting the key skills required to ensure they persevere, alongside individuals’ top tips for success.
