Secrets to Success Southampton — with Foot Anstey, Irwin Mitchell, Shoosmiths and ULaw

Wednesday 20 November, 4pm to 6:30pm, taking place IN-PERSON at the University of Southampton (open to students from all universities)


Legal Cheek is coming to Southampton for the latest in its 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 Wednesday 20 November at the University of Southampton campus, and features lawyers from Foot Anstey, Irwin Mitchell and Shoosmiths, alongside a careers expert from ULaw.

Date: Wednesday 20 November 2024
Time: 4pm to 6:30pm
Location: The University of Southampton
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.

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 early talent teams. It’s a great opportunity not only to meet the firms but also to check out ULaw’s campus right in the heart of the University of Southampton, which is open to students of all universities.

Apply to attend. You’ll be asked to submit two questions for the speakers.
