The competition saw Trainees and Paralegals paired up with ULaw students to take part in three legal competencies, namely client interviewing, negotiation and advocacy. These competencies were assessed by panels of experienced solicitors and Judges who graded the assessments and provided feedback to the teams throughout the day. The event was very well organised by the University of Law and sponsored by various local firms. It was a fantastic opportunity for the students to interact with young legal professionals from across the Buckinghamshire and Berkshire area and for all the participants to test their legal skills in a ‘real world’ setting.
We are proud to announce that Taine Cabral and his student partner Helen Wilcockson took home the prize for the Best Team. Taine was also awarded the prize for the Best Trainee/Paralegal. Well done to all the participants and to the organisers for a wonderful event.
