Lawyers from across the firm’s practice areas will be reflecting on their career journeys and offering tips and advice for STEM students and graduates hoping to follow this pathway. Expect insights into how technical backgrounds can translate into exceptional legal expertise, including how IP law blends scientific knowledge with commercial strategy.
