"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. "
“People in Law provides an excellent opportunity to network with others working in legal HR, and I’ve made many friends as a result of our firm membership. The annual conference is a “must” with great speakers and thought leadership.”
“The more senior you get in HR, it can be a very lonely place, and one of the benefits of People in Law is that you are able to build a network of like-minded professionals and friends who can provide a great deal of support as you progress in your career.”
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. It’s a fantastic way to access opportunities for professional development at all levels and the people team at Kingsley Napley are regular attendees of their seminars, webinars and conferences as well as their social events. It’s a helpful way to stay up to date with trends in the market and also be introduced to relevant suppliers and the people in law team are always so friendly and thinking of interesting opportunities for its members.
