Synopsis

Why would a lawyer join an accounting firm? In this session, partners from Grant Thornton will discuss how your skills can be applied across various services within an accounting firm such as tax, restructuring and insolvency, and audit.

In the session, you will:

• Learn about the services within an accounting firm and how your law training can translate into practice.
• Find out what it takes to be a professional advisor in Tax, Restructuring and Insolvency, and Audit.
• Get a glimpse into the partners’ careers and hear their “war stories”.

We invite you to hear from the speakers and so that you can decide whether a career with Grant Thornton could be right for you.
