Develop your knowledge, broaden your horizons

We are delighted to announce the launch of our Linklaters Learning Hub Luxembourg season 6. With another full schedule of webinars and expert debate, this professional training programme looks through a legal lens at key issues in your sector. From outsourcing to ELTIFs and derivatives to the EU insolvency regulation, we focus on a wide range of industry developments and trends.

But LLH is not just for learning, it is also an opportunity to network, which is more important than ever in this world of remote working. This season introduces a series of short breakout sessions where participants can meet and chat in small groups about our lives outside of work – favourite books, best films. You choose.

Because whether on screen or face-to-face, we all need a little light conversation in our lives.

So, come along and join us for learning and a chance to connect with your peers, colleagues and contacts.
