Legal Cheek is coming to Bristol for the latest in its 2026 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 12 March at ULaw’s Bristol campus, and features lawyers from Osborne Clarke, RPC and Bevan Brittan, alongside a careers expert from ULaw.
Time: 4pm to 6:30pm
Location: The University of Law, Bristol
Level: Students, Graduates
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
• Marc Shrimpling, partner in the competition team at Osborne Clarke
• Oliver Sainter, senior associate in tech and commercial disputes at RPC
• Fran Mussellwhite, partner in the litigation, advisory and regulatory team at Bevan Brittan
• Emma Taylor, programme student lead for conversion and academic masters in Law at ULaw Bristol
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 impressive Bristol campus, surrounded by global law firms in the heart of Bristol’s legal district.
This event is now fully booked.
