Legal Returners’ Springboard
Join us to find out what’s changed – and what hasn’t – since you last worked in the law. Get expert advice to help you prepare to return to working in the law. Be inspired to embark on your journey back to your legal career.
Our programme features lawyers, GCs, expert coaches and fellow returners, all on board to help you refresh your skills and knowledge and take your next step in your business legal career after a break.
Our virtual events take place twice a year, over four days, inside UK school hours. You are welcome to join for as much or as little as you like – everyone who attends for 12 hours or more will receive a certificate and LinkedIn badge so they can show future employers they have taken part and are ready to get back to work.
