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 Monday 18 November at the University of Southampton campus, and features lawyers from Foot Anstey, Irwin Mitchell and Shoosmiths, alongside a careers expert from ULaw.
Time: 4pm to 6:30pm
Location: Garden Court (Building 40), 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.
The speakers
• Helen Dickie, principal director in Foot Anstey’s Southampton office
• Ele Oswin, trainee solicitor in the family team at Irwin Mitchell
• Jack Homan, trainee solicitor in the employment team at Shoosmiths
• Aruna Verma, campus dean for ULaw Southampton and associate professor
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.
This event is now fully booked.
