Legal Cheek is coming to Leeds for the latest in its series of IN-PERSON Secrets to Success events – run 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 Tuesday 4 June at ULaw’s Leeds campus, and features lawyers from Eversheds Sutherland, Pinsent Masons and Shoosmiths, alongside a careers expert from ULaw.
The speakers will share the secrets to their own success, telling the stories of their career journeys and advising students on how they can best position themselves to obtain training contracts with leading law firms. Also up for discussion will be the key commercial awareness topics that students need to have on their radar.
The speakers
• Emmanuelle Turner, associate at Eversheds Sutherland
• Christopher Graham, legal director at Pinsent Masons
• Nick Taylor, associate at Shoosmiths
• Matthew Tomlinson, campus dean at The University of Law and former associate at DLA Piper and Addleshaw Goddard
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, current trainees from the firms and members of their graduate recruitment teams. It’s a great opportunity not only to meet the firms but also to check out ULaw’s striking Leeds campus, located in the heart of the city centre with a dramatic glazed frontage, high specification interior and roof terrace offering panoramic views of Leeds’ skyline.
Apply to attend above. You’ll be asked to submit two questions for the speakers.
