Essential skills for practice – Requirements for being a future ready lawyer

This interactive online classroom and Q&A is aimed at newly qualified and aspiring solicitors who are looking to develop key essential for practice skills that will future proof their career.

In an ever-changing legal profession it is important that solicitors demonstrate they have skills beyond the law that make them a well-rounded lawyer able to adapt to change.

This classroom was delivered on Wednesday 29 January 2025 to help learn the skills employers and clients need, but which aren’t necessarily learnt at law school.

This session will also be helpful for aspiring solicitors looking to enhance their applications.

This classroom was facilitated by Marco Imperiale, Founder and Managing Director at Better Ipsum, a benefit corporation focused on legal design, legal innovation, and legal wellbeing.

The programme will run throughout 24-25 and it’s designed to give you all the skills, knowledge and attributes needed to flourish in your early career, irrespective of where or how you practice. Sign up here to stay informed about how the programme is developing.
