Legal Cheek is coming to Manchester 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 18 June at ULaw’s Manchester campus, and features lawyers from Squire Patton Boggs, Pinsent Masons, Clyde & Co, Fletchers and Express Solicitors, 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
• Andrea Cropley, corporate partner & graduate recruitment partner at Squire Patton Boggs
• Alice Beresford, planning and environment and energy and infrastructure solicitor at Pinsent Masons
• Chris Eccles, partner in the catastrophic injury & large loss team at Clyde & Co
• Victoria Marsden, personal injury director and partner at Fletchers Solicitors
• Alex Forster, solicitor at Express Solicitors
• Catherine Morgan, employability group manager at The University of Law
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 Manchester campus, located in the city centre and in close proximity to leading law firms and Manchester Piccadilly Train Station.
Apply to attend above. You’ll be asked to submit two questions for the speakers.
