Organised by Liverpool Law Society in collaboration with Fletchers Group
Liverpool Law Society is pleased to invite your firm to participate in our Legal Careers Open Evening on Wednesday 11th February 2026, from 4:00pm to 6:30pm at Fletchers Group, Cotton Exchange Building, Liverpool, with talks commencing at 4:30pm.
This event is open to first-year law students from four local universities: Liverpool John Moores University, Edge Hill University, the University of Liverpool, and Liverpool Hope University.
The Legal Careers Open Evening aims to provide students early exposure to the range of legal careers available, by connecting them with firms representing a broad spectrum of legal practice areas.
By joining this event, your firm will have the opportunity to:
• Engage with a talented pool of first-year law students exploring potential career paths
• Showcase your area of legal specialism, and the work your firm undertakes
• Promote your graduate opportunities and student placement schemes to prospective candidates
• Build your profile among students and demonstrate your commitment to developing future legal talent
• Contribute to a positive, educational experience that supports the wider legal community
The evening will be structured as a careers fair, with each firm hosting a stand focused on a particular legal specialism. We are inviting law firms that provide clear career development opportunities for aspiring legal professionals, including student pathways such as work experience, student placements or insight days, as well as graduate programmes. To ensure variety and balance, we will limit participation to no more than two firms per specialism.
We’re inviting select law firms to get involved by giving a short talk on their area of legal expertise, exhibiting at the event with representatives available to answer student questions and networking with aspiring legal professionals from multiple universities. You are welcome to involve both junior and senior team members, as students particularly value hearing about real career journeys and day-to-day insights from legal professionals at different stages of their careers.
If your firm is interested in participating either by giving a talk, hosting a stand, or both we’d be delighted to hear from you. Please register your interest as soon as possible due to the structure of the event and the limit on firms per specialism, spaces will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
We hope you will join us in supporting the next generation of legal professionals and showcasing the dynamic legal opportunities available in our region.
