International strategy at Travers Smith: what it means in theory and in practice

Apply to attend

Join us on the afternoon of Wednesday 8 January for the first Legal Cheek virtual student event of 2025.

The session is in partnership with Travers Smith and the theme is the firm’s international strategy, which is quite different to those of many other City firms.

Speakers from the firm will explain how elite global law firms work, giving examples from their respective practice areas. They will explore, in particular, the Travers Smith model of building carefully cultivated relationships with leading independent law firms around the world to provide a first-class, seamless service for clients, rather than physically opening up offices in different jurisdictions. This approach sees Travers Smith collaborate with over 150 firms worldwide.

The speakers

Tom Coulter, partner in the corporate M&A and ECM team
Nicola Clayton, senior BD and marketing manager
Chloe Budd, associate in the competition team
Zoe Yerolemou, trainee in the competition team

After a presentation, short talks and a Q&A, there will be virtual networking with the speakers, Travers Smith trainees and the firm’s co-heads of graduate recruitment.

Apply to attend above. You’ll be asked to submit two questions for the firm.
