Aspire
Professional development and networking for junior in-house counselAre you starting out in your in-house career? This forum is designed just for you.
We know that starting out in your legal career in-house isn't like being a junior in a law firm. You haven't got a firm full of lawyers to turn to for advice or support. You're not alone. There are many others embarking on their in-house legal career, in exactly the same position.
We were approached by the in-house community to provide a space for you to connect and learn from each other - a chance to compare notes, swap stories and sharpen your legal knowledge and commercial skills.
Aspire is a free networking and professional development group for lawyers in the early stages of their legal career. We are passionate about supporting each other to succeed by providing a forum to share experiences and ideas and sharpen our legal and commercial skills.
By joining Aspire you will benefit from:

Calling all junior in-house lawyers! Join us for our next virtual lunch run in partnership with Flex Legal, offering you industry insights, professional tips and networking opportunities with your peers.
“In our experience, the long-term confidence and knowledge that trainees gain from the Aspire events hugely outweighs the short-term cost of a few hours out of the office. And you never know when the contacts they make through the network might prove useful for business purposes! We would certainly recommend Aspire and we support our trainee’s attendance at these events.”
“Aspire is a great programme for in-house legal trainees, providing not only helpful training but also an instant network for in-house trainees who do not benefit from the grand scale trainee networks that a law firm would provide. Our legal trainee thoroughly enjoys the sessions and finds meeting other in-house trainees really helpful and fun.”
“Joining this group has been a great opportunity to sharpen my legal knowledge and commercial soft skills, allowing me to feel more confident in my role.”
“Sharing best practice and discussing challenges with others at the same stage of their career has been invaluable.”
Aspire is free to join and open to all in-housers in the early stages of their legal career. To register your interest and see how you can reap the benefits of this free, aspirational community please complete the following details:
