Career pathways in the law

Mason Ledger is excited to be hosting its Career pathways in the law seminar for law students from 5:30pm to 7:15pm on Wednesday 16 September.

The seminar will be presented by Chris Bates who will share industry insights gained during his 12 years recruiting for some of the worlds leading law firms.

The presentation will be held at Mason Ledgers offices, followed by drinks and refreshments with our team.

The presentation will cover:

• How to secure a position in a competitive market.
• Navigating law firm application processes.
• The impacts of your career decisions, and the doors that may open (and close) as a result.
• Law firm structures/KPIs.
• Life at the Bar, in-house and in government roles.
• Working interstate and overseas (once travel restrictions are lifted!).
• Networking.

We look forward to sharing some tips and tricks to set you up for a successful legal career.

This is a free event with capacity being limited to 20 law students. We kindly request that students attending make a $5 donation to the Minds Count Foundation a charity dedicated to promoting mental health throughout the legal profession.

We look forward to seeing you there!
