Family law: Life, litigation and real-world client work
What is it really like to practise family law? In this session, the BPP team will interview a panel of practising family lawyers to explore the realities of working in this challenging and deeply human area of practice. The discussion will cover the nature of the work, the skills required to succeed and the personal qualities that are particularly important when advising clients through significant life events. Students will gain a clearer understanding of the day-to-day experience of family lawyers and the routes into this rewarding specialism.

Inclusion and belonging
No matter which Orrick team you join, you will have teammates whose life, professional experiences and perspectives are different from yours. This is true at all levels in our firm – and we are proud to be led by a Board and Management Committee that is the most inclusive in Big Law.
To cultivate an inclusive culture, we invest in building professional communities. Our inclusion networks, which are open to all, include First Generation Lawyers, Veterans, the Black Lawyers of Orrick, MENA, the Jewish Inclusion Network, Women’s Initiative, Parents Forum, DiversAbility, and many others. Many of these networks also have Europe-specific chapters that engage locally, and our London office Inclusion and Belonging Committee supports a wide range of local events and initiatives.
We also partner with Rare Contextual Recruitment to ensure that our London trainee recruitment processes are fair and inclusive. No matter your perspective, you will find ways to connect with colleagues beyond your practice and office.
