«Alliance Legal» served as General Partner of the Legal Career Forum organised by Ural State Law University. The team met with students to discuss their first steps in the profession, answer questions about starting a career, and share practical advice.
Throughout the day, Alliance Legal specialists spoke with aspiring lawyers about choosing a career path and preparing for legal practice. These conversations help students align their expectations with the day-to-day responsibilities of a lawyer and understand what to focus on while still at university.
One of the topics on the programme was the impact of artificial intelligence on the legal profession. Daria Vintovkina, Senior Consultant in Alliance Legal’s General Practice, moderated the panel discussion “Paralegals and Junior Lawyers: An Endangered Species?” Participants discussed how AI is changing the work of junior professionals and what opportunities it creates for them.
The programme also featured a prize draw hosted by Alliance Legal, with copies of Russia: Law Through the Ages as prizes. The winners received a publication exploring the history of Russian law—an opportunity to deepen their understanding of the profession through its origins and development.
For Alliance Legal, partnering with the forum is an opportunity to maintain a direct dialogue with students and share experience that helps them begin their professional journey with greater confidence. Discussions about career choices and changes in the legal market give aspiring lawyers a clearer understanding of the profession and help them make informed decisions about their development.
