The JMLN Autumn session is an opportunity to reconnect with peers, reflect on the year so far and strengthen relationships as you look ahead to the next stage of your legal career.
Designed for junior to mid-level lawyers across all practice areas, this event offers space for honest conversation in a calm, informal setting.
Why attend?
By October, many lawyers are taking stock - of their workload, their direction and what they want next. JMLN provides a supportive environment to compare notes with others who may be feeling the same.
At this Autumn session, you can expect:
- Open conversations about career development and uncertainty;
- A chance to expand your network without pressure or formality;
- Insight from peers and panel speakers at similar career stages; and
- Time and space to build genuine professional relationships.
