Blake Dawson Developing Young Lawyers (DYL) Workshop Series

Blake Dawson are pleased to invite you to the Developing Young Lawyers (DYL) series of workshops!

The DYL series of workshops is designed to help law students develop many of the skills needed to be a successful lawyer. The sessions allow the opportunity to participate in practical scenarios and receive personalised feedback from Blake Dawson Lawyers.

 

Negotiation

The Negotiation Workshop gives participants an understanding of points to consider when conducting a negotiation on behalf of a client. The workshop is run by a Blake Dawson Partner who shares their real life experience with negotiation. The workshop is very practical and students will have the opportunity to reflect on their experience of the negotiation game.

Client Interviewing

The Client Interviewing Workshop takes participants through the 7 virtues and 7 deadly sins of client interviewing. The session is run by a Blake Dawson Partner who provides guidance on how to conduct a client interview. There is a demonstration by Blake Dawson lawyers and students will have the opportunity to participate in role play scenarios and receive personalised feedback from the Blake Dawson lawyers they are working with.

Mooting

The Mooting Workshop offers an understanding of core mooting skills and an opportunity to put these into practice. The workshop starts with a general discussion of the principles of mooting, including advice on what you should and should not do during a moot. Participants then move into breakout rooms to moot a hypothetical legal problem with other students who have a similar level of experience. All participants will receive personalised feedback from the Blake Dawson lawyers they are working with.
