Legal Cheek is coming to Manchester for the latest in its new series of in-person Secrets to Success events — in association with The University of Law (ULaw) — to help students boost their commercial awareness ahead of summer vacation schemes and training contract interviews.

The event takes place on Wednesday 29 June at ULaw Manchester, and features lawyers and graduate recruitment teams from FreshfieldsHill Dickinson, and Exchange Chambers, alongside a careers expert from ULaw.

The speakers will share their secrets to success, telling the stories of their career journeys, while advising students on how they can best position themselves to obtain training contracts with leading firms. Up for discussion will also be the key commercial awareness topics students need to have on their radar.
