Aiming to create opportunities for student members to network with practitioners, our 2023 Student Series launched with an evening of Speed Networking. 

Samantha Sloan (first year Trainee Solicitor at the WS Society) explains: ‘Our Speed Networking event returned to the Signet Library for the first time since 2019 following a few years of online events. We were delighted to welcome 13 students and 10 practitioners on the night. This event is always popular with students as it provides an informal setting to network with members of the profession and hear about the wide range of careers available to law graduates. Our thanks go to the professionals who have helped support the next generation of lawyers as they progress through their legal education and to abrdn for sponsoring the event’.

‘[T]he quality of the people we met was very high and they were genuinely excited about their futures in the legal profession. Great hope for the future.’ - Malcolm Mackay WS

The series will continue with Adventures in Law in September.
