On Saturday, November 9th, our team – Paul, Matt, Becky, and Nick – attended the IBC National Conference at the Aspire venue in Leeds. As sponsors of the event themed “The Future of Clerking – Embracing Development Together”, we brought our collective 100 years of legal sector expertise.
The pre-conference social evening provided an excellent opportunity to network and reconnect with industry colleagues. Leeds, continuing to establish itself as a Northern Powerhouse of legal talent, proved an ideal backdrop for this professional gathering.
Conference sessions explored critical professional development themes:
- Cyber security in legal practice
- Barrister and clerk relationship dynamics
- Chamber marketing strategies
- Pro bono work’s professional benefits
- Technological innovations
- Networking strategies
- Fee optimisation techniques
Leeds, with its renowned University of Leeds School of Law, embodied the innovative spirit of legal professional development at the conference. The event provided a dynamic platform to connect with peers, share insights, and explore emerging industry trends.
Our sponsorship of the IBC Annual Conference reflects GRL’s commitment to supporting learning, collaboration, and innovation in the legal community.
