Partner Origin Stories with Travers Smith

About this episode

The episode features partners from Travers Smith sharing their experiences as trainees.

As a trainee, or prospective trainee, partners can often seem pretty far removed from your day to day. But as any partner will tell you, they were you once. No matter how daunting it feels, they sat in your shoes and chances are, they remember it well. Recently, we sat down with Asma, Hannah and James, three lawyers at City law firm Travers Smith, to find out more. For more insights from Asma, Hannah and James, we’ve put together an accompanying article with additional comments from all three interviewees, available here: https://www.chambersstudent.co.uk/law-firms/getting-a-training-contract/partner-origin-stories-with-travers-smith This podcast is hosted by ZenCast.fm
