F-LEX are hiring in Manchester!

The F-LEX Book Club

This month’s recommendation comes from our very own CEO Mary Bonsor. This November she is recommending that you read “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People” by Stephen R. Covey.

It is a book that Mary found extremely useful when starting F-LEX and she believes the lessons she learnt from the book could be applicable to many of you.

In this work Covey presents a 7 step approach to overcoming personal and professional issues.

F-LEX Bristol

F-LEX will now be conducting weekly onboarding sessions in Bristol!

We're looking forward to this opportunity to meet aspiring lawyers from across the South-West. If you would like to attend and become part of our network please apply on our website or send your CV to bookings@flex.legal with a message explaining that you wish to onboard in Bristol. Alternatively, if you know somebody that would benefit from this, pass this message on to them!

Our first session will take place Thursday 3rd October.

See you there!
