Agenda

You asked and we've delivered. This will be the first webinar we've ever hosted focusing on topical legal industry news, trends and developments - a topic that we're often asked about during our events.

This event will be hosted by ex-Magic Circle lawyer Jake Schogger and Luke Mitchinson. Luke trained with Jake at Freshfields, and subsequently worked for years as a transactional lawyer at both a Magic Circle and an elite US law firm, before quitting City law to work as a headhunter. He now helps lawyers from NQs through to partners secure roles at a broad range of commercial law firms.

There will also be a Q&A, where you'll have a unique opportunity to ask Jake and Luke any of the questions that you might not feel comfortable asking law firms - pay, culture, rankings etc. Nothing is off limits, as both presenters are now totally independent from City law firms!
