Canterbury Christ Church University, Law School, is welcoming Mr Craig Sharpe to talk on key trends in the Legal Market and their relevance to Law Students on Monday 31st at 3-5 pm.

Craig Sharpe is a Marketing Consultant at London law firm Axiom DWFM. Craig has over 15 years of experience as a lawyer before he changed career in 2010 to become a marketing consultant for law firms. This unusual career path means Craig is well placed to explain how major and ongoing changes in the legal services market are resulting in law firms changing how they recruit and what they look for in applicants.
