Macfarlanes Pillars: Disputes

Join Macfarlanes for a free online event exploring life as a disputes lawyer. The session brings together a Partner, Senior Associate and Trainee to talk through what the work really involves, from developing case strategies and advising clients under pressure to analysing evidence, cross-examining witnesses and working on high-value matters from the start of your career.

The discussion highlights the breadth of disputes practice, including commercial and partnership disputes, fraud, regulatory investigations and international arbitration. It also gives a practical sense of the skills that matter most in this area, such as sharp analytical thinking, clear judgement and the ability to react quickly when cases are moving fast.

It is designed for aspiring solicitors who want to understand what a career in disputes can look like in practice and how to start building relevant experience early on.
