LONDON LAW CONFERENCE 2018

highlights of llc 2018

On Saturday 24th November 2018, the inaugural London Law Conference was successfully hosted at UCL with the enthusiastic participation of over 250 students from all degree and university backgrounds - home, EU and international alike. The entirely student-led conference was founded on the primary aim of inspiring future lawyers - and to encourage a career in the commercial legal industry regardless of one's background and socio-economic status.

We are very grateful to have received continuous support and inspiring keynote speeches delivered by Sir Christopher Bellamy QC, Linklaters; Will Pearce, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP; Nnamdi Emelifeonwu, founder of Defeyene; and Paul Smith, Eversheds Sutherland.

We would also like to extend our gratitude to James Banks from Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner LLP and Ben Moult from Allen & Overy for their engaging workshop sessions.
