With Pinsent Masons, Clyde & Co, Express Solicitors and ULaw

Apply to attend

Legal Cheek is coming to Manchester for the latest in its 2025 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 Tuesday 24 June at ULaw’s Manchester campus, and features lawyers from Pinsent MasonsClyde & Co and Express Solicitors, alongside a careers expert from ULaw.

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 graduate recruitment teams. It’s a great opportunity not only to meet the firms but also to check out ULaw’s Manchester campus, located in the city centre and in close proximity to leading law firms and Manchester Piccadilly Train Station.

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