Secrets to Success Bristol

With Burges Salmon, Osborne Clarke and ULaw

Legal Cheek is coming to Bristol for the latest in its new 2023 series of IN-PERSON Secrets to Success events – in association with The University of Law (ULaw) – to help students boost their commercial awareness ahead of vacation schemes and training contract interviews.

The event takes place on Monday 15 May at ULaw's Bristol campus, and features lawyers from Burges Salmon and Osborne Clarke, alongside a careers expert from ULaw.

The speakers will share their secrets to success, telling the stories of their career journeys, while advising students on how they can best position themselves to obtain training contracts with leading firms. Also up for discussion will be the key commercial awareness topics students need to have on their radar.

Wandile Mantanga, solicitor in the banking and finance team at Burges Salmon

After the Question Time-style discussion, which will be chaired by a Legal Cheek journalist, there will be networking over drinks and snacks with the speakers, trainees from the firms and members of their graduate recruitment teams.
