Top lawyers share their secrets to success; students ask the questions

Legal Cheek is back with the latest in its series of student events — in association with The University of Law (ULaw) — to help future lawyers boost their commercial awareness as they apply for training contracts.

The first session of the summer takes place next week, on the evening of Wednesday 30 May at ULaw Moorgate, and features a panel of leading lawyers from Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner, CMS, Gowling WLG, Pinsent Masons and ULaw. The quintet will share the secrets to their own success, while also advising students on how they can best position themselves to obtain training contracts with leading firms. They will look, too, to the future and give their views on what changes we can expect in the legal market.

After the Question Time-style discussion, there will be drinks and networking with the speakers and a collection of the firms’ trainees and members of their graduate recruitment teams.

Apply to attend here. You’ll be asked to submit a CV and two questions for the panel.
