Thanks to the generous support from our sponsors, UTS Law Students’ Society is able to facilitate enriching law school experiences for our members.
These are the firms that make UTS Law Students’ Society possible. We aim to create a balanced university experience for our members, and in doing so, we help students transition from an academic environment to a career in the legal industry. If your company is interested in engaging with bright and promising law students, please reach out to our Vice-President (Sponsorships), Antonia Assaf, at vps@utslss.com.
