Bethan Casinelli
Law with Politics,
graduated 2011

I am an Associate Solicitor in the
Pensions Team at Slaughter and
May. Qualifying as a Solicitor is a
long process but is 100% worth the
effort! Keele is a well respected
university and my degree allowed
me to study in a variety of subject
areas, broadening my horizons and
challenging the way I thought. I
would advise prospective students
to get as involved in their course
as possible. I would recommend
that they utilise the extra-curricular
opportunities offered by the Law
School, such as Mooting and Client
Interviewing, because it will help to
develop the skills that employers
look for. Keele made me...happy!
