- Emma Heuston is the founder and director of The Remote Expert. For over six years, she has worked remotely and knows more than anyone what does and doesn’t work in this kind of environment. Have a look here.
- Lochlan Worrell is a lawyer at Moulis Legal who wrote an op-ed for us in the past walking through what new lawyers should expect in the real-world legal practice. Hint: it’s nothing like Suits! Have a look at that here!
- Mellissa Larkin is the founder and managing director of Peripheral Blue. Over her legal career, Mellissa has worked in major international firms through to smaller boutique practices and has a wealth of experience from it all. She has already passed some tips onto Protégé, which you can take a listen to here.
Each day, attendees will also have the incredible opportunity to connect with a law firm, industry leaders and trusted career advisers of their choosing! This means full 15-minutes talking one-on-one with an expert to network, chat about their organisations and ask any and all questions to someone with the right answers.
We will have more information over the next few months but in the meantime, feel free to check out the entire agenda, reach out with questions and register for the event here.
