Surviving and Thriving in Law – Making the Move!

Law attracts a number of women looking to make the move into law either as a completely new experience or as an extension or variation in the role they currently perform. This seminar is a discussion about finding the place to start your journey, how to swap into or add another area of law to your practice and how to utilise a law degree in different ways.

How to change your career to and within law when you have no idea – questions and answers.

• Don’t want to be a lawyer, but want to use your degree?
• Wanting to jump from one area of the law to another?
