Part of the Bringing Law to Life series of events 

How good is your understanding of the legal profession? Have you ever doubted whether you will ‘fit in’ to the profession for any reason?  Entering the law can feel intimidating for anyone, whatever their background or levels of confidence.  Please come along and join our series of conversations with those in the profession who want to share their experiences. Don’t miss this opportunity to grow your confidence about how Open University students can succeed in the law.

Rachel Herron is a practising In-house Counsel and, since qualifying as a solicitor, has spent more than 15 years working in three global companies, operating across different industry sectors. Rachel will talk about the ups and downs of a day in the life of In-House Counsel and the challenges (and opportunities) of working within the organisation that you advise. Rachel will also discuss topics such as key skills for In-house Counsel and some Legal “hot topics” that businesses are having to get to grips with. 

Hosted by Katie Jukes, Lecturer and Student Experience Manager, Law School
