Law firm invests in young talent

Shoosmiths LLP, a major UK law firm with offices in Colmore Square, Birmingham, have shown their commitment to developing their company 's young talent by taking out over 30 memberships to the Future Faces Chamber of Commerce (FF).

Experiencing rapid growth in recent years, Shoosmiths has become a £167m+ turnover firm and pride themselves on their relationships with clients and their delivery of consistent results.

Membership to Future Faces will give young professionals across the firm access to a network of like-minded individuals looking to develop and advance in their careers.

Alex Bishop (pictured), partner and co-head of Shoosmiths Birmingham office, said: “I 'm very pleased that 31 of our legal advisors at Shoosmiths are currently members of Future Faces. It 's a valuable initiative that helps younger professionals with an amazing array of options including development events, social networking, mentoring, working as part of a committee and an annual awards celebration. It 's wonderful to have a really well-designed programme to help young professional talent grow their careers in our vibrant city of Birmingham.

“As a former chair of Birmingham Future and Birmingham Young Professional of the Year Awards, both now part of Future Faces, I would wholeheartedly recommend getting involved. They helped me to develop a network and learn invaluable skills to assist in advancing my career - skills you would not necessarily get the opportunity to learn in your day job. I have also built lifelong friendships along the way too! ”

Jodie-Lee Perks, Future Faces manager, said: “It is so exciting to have so many members from a company like Shoosmiths. Head of Office Alex Bishop is such an advocate for networking and building a personal brand, so I'm not surprised she has encouraged the young professionals to accelerate their careers with Future Faces. I look forward to working with such a plethora of talent and having many new faces at our events. ”
