CheekyLittleCareers and The University of Law are delighted to be hosting a live fireside chat with Richard Youle, partner at Skadden. Host Husnara Begum, associate editor at CheekyLittleCareers and ex-Linklaters corporate lawyer, will host the chat. She’ll be asking questions ranging from Richard's career path to partnership, what working in Corporate law is like and life at Skadden. This event is ideal for aspiring City solicitors who want to boost their commercial awareness and gain an insight into working in the city.
