Legal Cheek is coming to Exeter for the latest in its 2026 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 in the Amory Building at the University of Exeter’s Streatham Campus, and features lawyers from Ashfords, Michelmores and Trowers & Hamlins, alongside a careers expert from ULaw. The Secrets to Success-themed session features short talks from the lawyers followed by a panel discussion, after which there are drinks and snacks with the speakers, trainees from the firms as well as members of their early talent teams.

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 legal market has changed dramatically. Clients arrive informed, expect advice rather than information, and evaluate lawyers as service providers. At the same time, law firms now expect graduates to bring communication skills, commercial awareness, visibility, and adaptability alongside legal knowledge. This talk provides students with a realistic view of the modern legal job market — including why traditional career paths are disappearing and how to build long-term career resilience in a fragmented profession.

In this seminar, I draw on field work and participatory action research undertaken in Ecuador over three decades to characterise the emerging practice of constitutional rights of nature litigation in Ecuador as a new species of business and human rights (BHR) litigation. I show how the historical and conceptual roots of private law BHR litigation efforts originating in Ecuador are intermingled with the roots of contemporary rights of nature litigation.

Join us for a screening of The Tribunal, a powerful documentary by Dr Malcolm Rogge in partnership with the Columbia Centre on Sustainable Investment (CCSI), that shines a light on a significant environmental and social justice battle in the Ecuadorian Amazon.

In the face of growing evidence that climate change and its various adverse impacts have economic origins and consequences, international financial institutions (IFIs) have started paying more attention to environmental issues. The ‘greening’ of the International Monetary Fund (IMF; Fund) – in its current incorporation of climate-related concerns into its legal mandate – is thus neither surprising nor necessarily suspect.

In this session we shall consider the different types of questions legal recruiters use and strategies for structuring your answers. We will also look at a range of sample questions. There will also be lots of tips for success for interview more broadly.
