Join us in Manchester where the Trainee Group kicks off with their debut event outside London.

Attend and listen to experienced commercial tech lawyers talk about their careers, juicy insights into their working life, misconceptions of being a tech lawyer, as well as advice and tips for junior lawyers.

Since this is hosted in the north, there will be a good focus on the northern tech sector and how it can enrich the careers of lawyers, trainees, and clients alike! The panel discussion will end with a Q&A and then an hour of networking.

Do not miss this opportunity to butt heads with like-minded individuals without making the trip down South!
