Digital Career Event Series "EMPLOYERS@ILF" in May and June 2020

The ILF sucessfully held the first sessions of its recently launched Digital Career Event Series "Employers@ILF" in summer semester 2020. Representatives from law firms, banks, the German stock exchange and other companies provided presentations about their work environment and the structure of their employers and further spoke on career opportunities for our students.
