What are the career options for grads after they finish law school?

For many students, it can be hard to understand what the options are, so the Simpson Grierson P&C team recently hosted a careers panel session in conjunction with the Korean Law Students Association to help demystify things.

With a mixture of panellists, including in-house and boutique lawyers and our own Senior Associate, Sarah Lee and Solicitor Raph Jo, everyone had a fantastic evening sharing insights about what a career in law can look like, along with helpful advice and lots of laughs.
