Virtual Thursday 22 April 2021

The new ways of working virtual conference

Lawyers who are doing things differently tell their stories

About

Living Room Law takes place virtually on the afternoon of April 22 2021 and in-person on 23 September 2021. It features a series of talks by solicitors and barristers who are doing things differently.

Some combine their legal work with unrelated passions, others handle City of London deals and cases from far-flung and unconventional locations. We’ll also be hearing from lawyers who have scaled the heights of the profession while managing family commitments. The first batch of speakers will be announced in early March.
