Event details

To mark International Men’s Day 2026, we are pleased to invite you to two special events in our 'In conversation with...' series. This year’s global theme, “The future is everyone”, is a timely reminder that creating a fairer, more inclusive future depends on all of us working together. In the UK, International Men’s Day also encourages positive conversations about men and boys, celebrates positive role models and highlights the importance of wellbeing, inclusion and opportunity. 

These short, informal sessions are open to everyone. Whether you are a young person exploring future careers and the world of work, are early in your career and looking for insight and inspiration to support your progression, or simply want to understand more about the different roles within a legal business, we hope you will join us.
