LONDON LAW CONFERENCE 2019

highlights of llc 2019

On Saturday 23rd November 2019, the second London Law Conference was successfully hosted at KCL with the enthusiastic participation of over 150 students from all degree and university backgrounds - home, EU and international alike. The entirely student-led conference was founded on the primary aim of inspiring future lawyers - and to encourage a career in the commercial legal industry regardless of one's background and socio-economic status.

We are very grateful to have received continuous support and inspiring keynote speeches delivered by Gideon Moore, Linklaters; Angela Clist, Allen & Overy; David Patient, Travers Smith; and Claire Wills, Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer.

We would also like to extend our gratitude to James Banks from Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner LLP and Macfarlanes for their engaging workshop sessions.
