Leo Cussen is running another free event that we think all law students will benefit from. It’s called Let’s Talk Launching Your Legal Career and it’s a three-part series. Session 1 and 2 are online where students will hear from a panel of experts about navigating their future after uni and exploring life as a lawyer. Session 3 is an opportunity for students to meet up with industry professionals and build connections.



This event is designed to give students key insights into the profession and help them feel confident to go from student to lawyer and to make connections.



You can register for the online sessions (1& 2) now and standby for more information about the in-person meet ups.
