Legal Cheek is in Birmingham for the latest in its series of IN-PERSON Secrets to Success events – in association with The University of Law (ULaw) – to help students boost their commercial awareness.
The event takes place on Thursday 27 June at The H Suite, and features lawyers from Pinsent Masons, Reed Smith, DWF and Browne Jacobson, 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
• Michelle Knight, director in the public sector real estate team at DWF
• Karine Kirlew, senior associate in the real estate team at Browne Jacobson
• Shuhab Miah, associate in the commercial team at Pinsent Masons
• Rik Palmer, graduate recruitment advisor at Reed Smith
• Clare Stapleton, employability group & careers manager at ULaw Birmingham
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.
