Focus on HR and Career Fairs

Here at Lanyon Bowdler, we as a firm are very keen to expand our links with schools and students local to our offices. We have attended various career events, and have lots more planned as we move into 2023. Events vary and can involve having a stand at local universities or school career fairs, or a talk to students about ‘A Day in the Life of a Trainee Solicitor’. These events can help students gain an insight into what a career within the legal sector may involve, it also allows for any questions they may have prior to starting their own career.

HR are heavily involved in the organisation of these events with the help of Lucy Speed (Partner), they are attended by either Emily Atkinson (HR Assistant) or Emma Harrison (Learning & Development Manager) along with other members of staff – such as trainee solicitors, legal assistants, legal support assistants and apprentices. With the range of experience we bring from these various job roles, we are able to provide very relevant advice on all aspects of a working at a law firm! We always enjoy attending these events, students are very engaging and we receive some very positive feedback!
