"I’ve been a member of People in Law (formerly HR in Law) for nearly 20 years. It’s been a great way to network, share best practice and broaden my outlook. Their seminars and conferences are always well run, topical and provide a useful insight into developments in the legal sector. I would encourage anyone new to the law or keen to build connections to attend. "

I've been part of the people in law network for over 15 years and it provides excellent opportunities for myself and my team to collaborate, share best practice and knowledge and network with other firms.
