Legal Cheek is coming to Newcastle for the first in its 2025 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 Thursday 30 January at The Frederick Douglass Centre, and features lawyers from the Newcastle offices of Norton Rose Fulbright, Womble Bond Dickinson and Hill Dickinson, 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 students need to have on their radar.
The speakers
• Rishi Kohli, senior legal services manager at Norton Rose Fulbright
• Helen Marr, early talent development manager at Womble Bond Dickinson
• Andrea Proudlock, partner in the health real estate team at Hill Dickinson
• Clare Young, campus manager at ULaw
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.
Apply to attend above. You’ll be asked to submit two questions for the speakers.
