Spark Legal Consulting are a Legal & Policy Consulting firm in the heart of the “EU-bubble”, based in Brussels. They do legal & policy research, mainly for the European Commission, but also many other EU institutions, for example impact assessments, feasibility studies, risk assessments and evaluations of legislation. Each year they recruit trainee researchers in Brussels.
They come to CCLS to present what it is like to work as a legal research consultant, the business opportunities, and present a detailed case-study of a recent project on systemic risks of social media platforms in the context of the Digital Services Act.
Have a go at considering a legal policy project in view of the Commission’s Better Regulation Framework. Don’t miss this event if you consider a career in legal consultancy, policy work or as a legal researcher.
This is a joint event by the Tech Law Institute and the CCLS Career Service, organised and hosted by Professor Julia Hornle.
There will be networking drinks after the event.
