Introduction

Each year since we launched the Skills Builder Framework in 2018, we have run a Partnership Day to bring together the different strands of the Partnership.

This year, we're hoping to return to an in-person format after the past couple of Partnership Days have taken place online. There will also be a streamed option for partners who are unable to join in person.

Join us at Allen & Overy in London, on May 18 09:00-14:00 BST, for a day packed full of networking and workshops from our different teams.
