What do other junior solicitors say?
“As a junior solicitor, taking part in Private Client Solicitors Section events provided me with speaking opportunities and helped me expand my network. These opportunities have greatly helped in my role, as a trainee solicitor having gained a great network of fellow junior and senior lawyers, developed my networking and public speaking skills and grown more confident as a result.”
