Spend the day at our new and inspiring venue in Manchester's Piccadilly district - a major UK city where many law firms have offices.

The full-day programme features panel discussions on key topics, workshops presented by our sponsor firms and networking sessions offering the opportunity to speak to partners, trainees and graduate recruiters from our firm sponsors and overall sponsor, Nottingham Law School.

The conference takes place on Friday 7 December 2018, timed to maximise the benefit to students intending to apply for 2019 vacation schemes.

The event offers;

• advice on crafting excellent applications, shining at interview and forging a successful career;
• exposure to, and insight from, some of the UK's most experienced recruiters and lawyers;
• networking opportunities with those same recruiters and lawyers, and fellow delegates; and
• participation in interactive firm-led workshops, which drill down into what it's like to work in a particular practice area within a national firm.

If you want to learn more about life as a lawyer in a top firm, from the people who are already living it and those who hire them, and you have the experience and grades to back up your enthusiasm, then LawCareersNetLIVE is the perfect event for you.
