Applying for Silk at the Employed Bar: Myth-Busting and Your Questions Answered

Sara George, a partner in Sidley’s Securities and Regulatory Enforcement practice, will host a discussion with King’s Counsel Appointments (KCA) and the Bar Council’s Employed Barristers’ Committee (EBC) about how best to prepare for the KC competition.
