CoL offers podcasts on different legal careers

updated on 28 January 2013

The College of Law's (CoL's) Future Lawyers Network is running a series of podcasts, entitled Brief Chats, featuring "top legal professionals" and offering tips and advice on how to get ahead in the world of law.

The first of these is with Tim Kilroy. He swapped from studying metallurgy at Oxford to a career in law, training at Farrer & Co, working in-house at a toy and games company, and now filling the role of general counsel at financial software company Misys. The next podcast is with criminal barrister Francis Fitzgibbon QC.

The series has been put together by: Felicity Gerry, barrister and commentator; Kim Evans, former police detective turned legal editor and journalist; and Barbara Hamilton-Bruce, chartered legal executive. All three act as interviewers.

Andrew Lamberti, head of marketing communications at CoL, said: "Felicity, Kim and Barbara are forthright, challenging and at the forefront of today's legal marketplace. Just as importantly, they bring a sense of vibrancy and fun to the studio, helping to relax their guests so that the conversations make the real life of working in the law accessible and relevant for all Future Lawyers Network members."
