Geopolitical uncertainty, shifting interest rates and increased regulatory scrutiny are all among the factors that can influence when, why and how businesses pursue major transactions. For corporate lawyers, understanding this wider commercial backdrop is an important part of helping clients get deals over the line.

During this event, BCLP lawyers will explore how M&A transactions come together in practice, the role lawyers play at different stages of a deal and some of the key trends currently shaping activity across the market. Drawing on their own experiences, the speakers will consider how changing conditions affect negotiations, deal structures and the advice clients need.

Following the short talks and panel discussion, there will be virtual networking with the speakers, BCLP trainees and members of the firm’s graduate recruitment team.

The Advocacy Skills Talk and Q&A event will include a talk on advocacy skills, and the opportunity in the Q&A to ask questions to a panel of female members of Chambers about advocacy but also more broadly about pupillage, applications, and working at the Commercial Bar. This session is open to anyone potentially interested in a career at the Commercial Bar, regardless of subject of study.

Designed in partnership with the Inns of Court and specialist Bar associations (SBAs), this free event is the largest recruitment fair run by the Bar, for the Bar of the future. We’re your professional body. We represent and support all practising barristers, champion the rule of law and access to justice, and support the next generation of barristers.
