Our School was thrilled to partner with the Law Society of NI yesterday to celebrate Conveyancing Week. Solicitors joined us for a lecture and Q&A session, offering insights into private practice, the qualification process, and the role of conveyancing. Our students valued the chance to hear from experienced professionals passionate about their successful careers in this dynamic field. Pictured L-R: Deirdre Timoney (QUB School of Law); Natalie Bronkhorst (McQueenie Boyle); Julie Ann Osborne (CMG Cunningham Dickey); Enda McKaigue (Mallon & Co Solicitors); Claire McNamee (Law Society of NI); Cormac McGirr (McGale Kelly Solicitors) and Stuart Harper (Institute of Professional Legal Studies).

The Law Society was at the Institute of Professional Legal Studies - Queen's University Belfast and at Queen's University Belfast - School of Law this afternoon, where trainee solicitors and students heard about what life is like practicing in a high-street firm and how rewarding a career in conveyancing can be. Thanks to our excellent panellists , Natalie Bronkhorst, Simon Murray, Enda McKaigue, Cormac McGirr and Julie Ann Osborne TEP for their unique perspectives. #LSNI #NIConveyancingWeek2024 #NISolicitor
