How technology is changing law and business – with Addleshaw Goddard in Manchester Thursday 29 November

Please see details of this event below - guaranteed to increase your commercial awareness.

On Thursday 29 November Legal Cheek is partnering with Addleshaw Goddard for an evening of commercial awareness discussion and networking with its lawyers and graduate recruitment team at the firm’s Manchester office.
The focus of the session will be on how technology is changing law and business. With the Financial Times’ ‘Innovative Lawyers’ report citing Addleshaw as one of the most tech-savvy in the UK, the firm is well-positioned to discuss the disruption taking place in the legal profession.
Manchester is a particularly important location in this respect, with Addleshaw’s office in the city a key part of its firm-wide Intelligent Delivery strategy, that brings together legal technology, new resourcing models and smarter delivery of traditional legal services.
The session commences from 6pm with a panel discussion, featuring banking partner Richard Oman, banking associate Nick Parkin, real estate partner Cathy Fearnhead, and Mike Kennedy, a trainee carrying out his training contract with the firm’s legal innovation and technology team. This will be chaired by a Legal Cheek journalist.
There will then be drinks, nibbles and networking with the lawyers on the panel, trainees and members of Addleshaw Goddard’s graduate recruitment team. 
Apply to attend here.  You’ll be asked to submit a CV and two questions for the panel.
