Get to Know with future pro

Jennifer Simpson

As a young professional living in Manchester city centre, there is always something to get involved in and with organisations such as pro.manchester, networking and relationship building are made so easy. pro.manchester plays a key role in promoting businesses and creating significant links between professionals to draw more investment and competition to this great city. Living in the heart of the city means that I can meet a range of professionals in all kinds of industries through seminars and events which in turn, offers the prospect of working together in the future. I feel that there is a strong sense of creativity in the way young professionals network in our culture of innovation, spontaneity and self motivation. Companies need to be able to adapt quickly to the changing needs of their environment and a key part of this is business development and networking which creates numerous opportunities. Not only does Manchester provide fantastic career prospects, but it also has a strong artistic flair. The endless art galleries and the Northern Quarters’ bohemian culture provide an escape for artists to showcase their work and to find inspiration. Manchester has proven itself to be a fantastic venue for all kinds of festivals too, including this year’s International Festival (MIF) which I can’t wait to be a part of this summer.

I started as a Trainee Solicitor at Cobbetts LLP, Manchester last year and currently sit in the Banking department. My daily tasks range from assisting on large facilities for the major high street banks and building societies, reporting to the banks on issues or concerns, to advising individuals on guarantees. Cobbetts LLP is a leading law firm which has been commended for its work and its consistency in remaining loyal to its core values of respect, quality, integrity and ambition. As a trainee at Cobbetts, there is a strong sense of excitement about what is in store for the future, especially with the firm frequently offering secondment opportunities and taking a genuine interest in the growth and development of each and every one of its employees. The firm has recently been nominated for a Lawcareers.net Training and Recruitment Award (TARA) in the Best Trainer – National/Large Regional Firm category and has previously won the award for the Best Vacation Scheme. With offices in Manchester, Leeds, Birmingham and London, Cobbetts is growing faster and ever more dynamic. I am extremely proud and honoured to work for such an acclaimed firm and look forward to being part of its growth and success in the future.
