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

Legal Cheek is coming to Bristol for the latest in its series of Secrets to Success events — in association with The University of Law (ULaw) — to help students boost their commercial awareness as they apply for vacation schemes and training contracts.

The event takes place on the evening of Wednesday 26 February at ULaw Bristol, and features a panel of lawyers from Burges Salmon, Osborne Clarke, RPC and ULaw.

Date: Wednesday 26 February 2020
Time: 5:30pm to 8:30pm
Location: ULaw, Bristol
Level: Students, Graduates

On the agenda will be key topical issues including policy aims of the new UK government, rising global trade tensions, technological disruption and the Green Economy. How will developments in these areas affect law firms, and what associated changes can we expect in the legal market?

The speakers

  • Rachel Ruane, partner, Burges Salmon, banking
  • Will Robertson, partner, Osborne Clarke, commercial, specialising in tech and privacy
  • Simy Khanna, senior associate, RPC, professional indemnity
  • Zoe King, dean, ULaw Bristol

The speakers will also share the secrets to their 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.

After the Question Time-style discussion, which will be chaired by a Legal Cheek journalist, there will be networking over drinks and canapés with the speakers, trainees and members of their graduate recruitment teams.

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