St Philips Leeds welcomes its first new recruit
Ten Sheffield Hallam law students have won a branding competition held by the University which was sponsored for the third year in a row by Irwin Mitchell.
The Clinical Legal Education Firm Brand competition, which is entered by second-year students as part of their clinical legal education studies, involves students deciding upon a name for a firm and then designing a logo, strapline and mission statement for it.
The winning entry was of a fictional firm named TLC. The team of students had designed and developed their brand around the importance of local client care, with a strapline emphasising their key values of trust, loyalty and competence.
Irwin Mitchell’s head of group marketing, David Wilson, judged the entries. Following a presentation about the importance of branding within the legal sector, Wilson, together with the Module Leader Jill Dickinson, presented students with certificates and book vouchers.
“The legal sector is more competitive than it’s ever been which means law firms are increasingly using their brand to differentiate themselves from the competition,” said Wilson.
“The students showed they understood this and the standard of entries was high.”

Chadwick Lawrence apprentice to promote the profession
An apprentice at Chadwick Lawrence is set to share his experiences with school children, college students and parents after being chosen to be an apprentice ambassador by the National Apprenticeship service.
