The University of Stirling has announced a new strategic partnership with global law firm Ashurst.
The partnership with the University’s Law School will focus on developing the next generation of NewLaw professionals, by bringing the evolution of the legal sector and the associated new career opportunities into the core of the curriculum.
This first-of-its-kind partnership will see the introduction of the Ashurst Advance NewLaw Programme to the curriculum for BA Law and LLB students completing the Commercial Awareness Module in the 2020/2021 academic year. The course will combine Ashurst’s NewLaw expertise with the University’s academic rigour to provide a unique learning opportunity for those interested in the rapidly developing legal services sector. Through this innovative collaboration, students will understand and embrace the changing legal services market, and identify the challenges and opportunities posed by ‘NewLaw’.
