Legal Cheek is coming to Leeds 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 the new training contract application cycle.
The event takes place on Wednesday 8 July at ULaw’s Leeds campus, and features lawyers from Eversheds Sutherland, Pinsent Masons and DAC Beachcroft, alongside a careers expert from ULaw.
Time: 4pm to 6:30pm
Location: The University of Law, Leeds
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
• Bethany Taylor, associate in the real estate disputes team at Eversheds Sutherland
• Scott Oxley, partner in the transaction services/corporate team at Pinsent Masons
• Dominic Exton, senior associate in the professional and commercial risk department at DAC Beachcroft
• Chris Walker, academic manager and senior lecturer at ULaw Leeds
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 striking Leeds campus, located in the heart of the city centre with a dramatic glazed frontage, high specification interior and roof terrace offering panoramic views of Leeds’ skyline.
This event is now fully booked.
