THIS EVENT IS NOW FULLY BOOKED.
Legal Cheek is in London for the latest in its 2025 series of IN-PERSON Secrets to Success events – in association with The University of Law (ULaw) – to help students boost their commercial awareness ahead of the new training contract application cycle.
The event takes place on Thursday 10 July at ULaw’s London Bloomsbury campus, and features lawyers from Farrer & Co, Pinsent Masons and Reed Smith, 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.
The speakers
• Adam Phillips, associate in the banking & finance team at Farrer & Co
• Yazmin Meadows, restructuring associate at Pinsent Masons
• Rebecca Schrod, senior early careers recruitment & development manager at Reed Smith
• Alex Marchant, lecturer at The University of Law and former associate at Clyde & Co
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 London Bloomsbury campus, located just a stone’s throw away from Tottenham Court Road, the cafes and bars of Fitzrovia and Soho, and numerous transport routes in the centre of London.
This event is now fully booked.
