In 2016 & Legal decided to establish a legal scholarship award that recognised legal students who in addition to studying law were pursuing/or looking to pursue an entrepreneurial endeavour. & Legal partnered with The University of Technology’s (UTS) Law Faculty, and four students have already been recipients of the scholarship.
An unanticipated by-product was the recruitment of highly talented legal students, many from UTS, who have provided all manner of assistance to our senior lawyers through research; writing legal articles and contributing to the progression of various legal matters.
The mentoring provided to these students has to some extent assisted them in finding later employment in international and national law firms and blue-chip corporate firms.
