The partners who stole Christmas
Episode description
Tis the season to be jolly, so for the last episode of The Lawyer Podcast for 2022, editor Catrin Griffiths and litigation editor Christian Smith are getting into the Christmas spirit with the dulcet tones of the best law firm choirs the City has to offer.
But first, can lawyers actually switch off at Christmas? Lawyers-turned-journalists Christian and in-house reporter Lucie Cruz discuss what might be in store for lawyers this holiday season, and what it tells us about the wider challenges of the practice.
Elsewhere, as Linklaters announce its first solicitor apprenticeship scheme, Horizon editor Katy Dowell breaks down how such programmes have developed, and how they offer an exciting future for new lawyers.
And Santa’s sleigh drops into Poland with international editor Alex Taylor to see what would happen if Slaughter and May merged with Mishcon de Reya.
With thanks to the wonderful choirs at Linklaters, Addleshaw Goddard and RPC.
