REVERA’s Week of Open Masterclasses at the BSU Faculty of Law 2026
REVERA is once again hosting its traditional series of masterclasses, “A Week with REVERA”, for students of the Faculty of Law and the Faculty of International Relations at Belarusian State University (BSU). This year, the event will take place from 19 to 23 October.
“A Week with REVERA” is an annual project that REVERA has organised jointly with the BSU Faculty of Law for many years. Each day, the firm’s practising lawyers introduce students to a different area of their work. Participants will explore topical issues in legal practice and real-life cases, including how transactions are structured, how brands and technologies are protected, how disputes are resolved and how major infrastructure projects receive legal support.
The main value of the masterclasses lies in direct interaction with practising lawyers. Students will be able to ask questions about the profession, discuss real-world situations and learn how to build a career in an international law firm. For many, this will be their first opportunity to see legal consulting from the inside and discover which area of law interests them most.
Venue: BSU Faculty of Law, 8 Leningradskaya Street, Minsk; rooms as indicated in the programme.
Time: 19–23 October, daily from 12:40 to 14:00.
