OPEN to 1st, 2nd and
final year event for students with disabilities or long-term health conditions
Monday 2nd December 2013, Central London (travel expenses reimbursed).
Many people believe that working in commercial law isn’t for them.
This is especially true for those with a disability or long-term health
condition – visible or otherwise. The long hours and pressures we typically
associate with life at a top law firm can present a barrier.
8 of
the world’s leading law firms, including Clifford Chance, Linklaters, Slaughter
and May, Hogan Lovells, Ashurst, Allen and Overy and Freshfields are looking
forward to meeting talented first and second year students (graduating 2014,
2015 and 2016) with 300+ UCAS point or equivalent (mitigating circumstances are
of course taken in to account).
The
event will cover areas such as:
• An
introduction to commercial law.
• How
to approach the recruitment process.
• When
& how to talk about your disability / health condition and request the
support you require.
It will
also provide students the opportunity to meet people in a similar position and
network with representatives and recruiters at 8 leading global law firms.
Please circulate details of
this event to your students. Those interested can find out more and apply at http://www.open-to-you.com/
