Open Days

Keep an eye on our website and social media for updates on our next open days at Kingsley Napley!

We’ve designed both our in-person and virtual open days to give you a true insight into the firm, our practice areas, the types of clients we work for and what life is like as a trainee.

We want you to get a true picture of who we are and the work we do, what it’s like being a lawyer at KN, and why our culture is so unique. There will be panel discussions and opportunities for questions through-out the day, but rest assured, if you would just like to come and listen, that is absolutely fine as well. We look forward to seeing you.
