LawCareers.Net was lucky enough to be invited to the OPEN event hosted at Linklaters earlier this month.

Trainees, partners and recruiters from Linklaters, Hogan Lovells, Clifford Chance, Freshfields and Allen & Overy came to meet talented disabled students and graduates aspiring to a career in law.
