If you would like to join the SCL Junior Lawyers’ Group and you are a member of SCL please email your details to emily.nicholas@scl.org. All are welcome to join.
The SCL Junior Lawyers Group will cover topics of technology law which junior lawyers would like to know about but might otherwise be afraid to ask. We aim to increase understanding of technology, how industry is adapting to and exploiting new technologies and, of course, the law itself. For example, “how is software created?”, “how is technology changing the retail industry?” and “what are the legal issues around data (whether big, small or regular-sized)?”
If you are not a member of SCL and would like to join, you can join SCL here.
