The lucrative and all encompassing nature of the legal world has seemingly captivated the passions of many driven and ambitious individuals from all across the world. The UK holds a highly prestigious title on the world's legal stage, with droves of international students choosing to study law in the UK in light of its educational and endless career opportunities. Research conducted by the Law Society in 2016 estimates that the UK's legal industry was worth approximately £26 billion. With over 200 international law firms locating offices across the UK, this beguiling industry employs an estimated 370,000 people.

The strikingly competitive and arduous nature of the legal world can often encourage feelings of dissuasion and inadequacy amongst individuals who derive from less fortunate backgrounds. "GS Power Series: Law- Career Stories and Lessons from Senior Legal Professionals" will actively dissipate the stereotype that only a small minority of individuals posses the ability to develop fruitful and fertile legal careers, and will demonstrate that the law industry is filled with diverse beings from different backgrounds. This seminar will not only focus upon providing assistance to individuals aspiring to build a career within the legal industry, but is also suitable for individuals who require guidance to further their careers in law. Attendees will also network with senior legal professionals and members of the Latham Watkins recruitment team during the course of the evening.
