Bookings are now open for the second Association of University Legal Practitioners (AULP) Regional meeting to be held in Wales.
On the back a hugely successful and inaugural AULP Regional Meeting in Wales in 2024, this year’s event will offer more exclusive insight for in-house university lawyers across Wales and England, with the chance to network, gain new contacts and share lived experiences to support your role as lawyers and your wider university leadership teams.
The full-day event with lunch will take place on Wednesday 24th September in Blake Morgan‘s Cardiff office (map).
What to expect
This event provides an opportunity to meet and network with your peers and local AULP members, as well as hearing from experts on topical issues in the higher education sector. It is a great opportunity to network, find out how others are solving current issues, discuss legislation and build contacts.
We are very pleased to be joined by speakers from the event co-sponsors Old Square Chambers for this event.
