Callum Alder

“Callum and I met in September 2017, whilst studying for the LLM LPC at BPP Law School. From the outset, it was clear that Callum was a highly motivated individual who would flourish within the legal profession. Many of my peers started the LPC in the same position, that is, fresh out of university without a training contract. Callum was no exception, however his meticulous approach would ensure that he would find himself exactly where he wanted to be. It was not long before he was able to secure his training contract at Clifford Chance, a firm who’s ethos he naturally exudes. Studying alongside someone who was so motivated to succeed definitely had a knock on effect on most, if not all of our classmates. It was not long before Callum became the person to ask when myself or a peer needed advice. His revision notes have gone down as a scripture of sorts within the cohort. Within the legal profession, and indeed in life generally, it is rare to find an individual who is confident, charismatic, extremely intelligent yet humble at the same time. Callum is the exception to this rule. I have no doubt that he will make a brilliant solicitor. I wish him all the best, and I’m sure that he will remain a dear friend for many years to come.”

“I rarely come across real talents who stand out like Callum. I had the pleasure of studying with Callum during our time on the LPC/LLM during the 2018 academic year. From the offset Callum was admired by his peers and was seen as the “go to” individual for all queries during the study sessions we attended. He quickly began to cement his place as a key member of the 2018 BPP law school intake. Throughout our time together at law school Callum’s determination to obtain a training contract was unparalleled within the cohort. It became apparent that it would only be a matter of time until Callum started receiving offers from top firms in the City. His commitment and drive to obtaining a TC created a knock-on effect for me personally to pursue my aspirations to work at a City law firm. Since finishing law school, Callum has become a close friend to me and he has continued to push and mentor me to where I am in my career today. I continue to look up to him as a source of motivation, and fully expect him to succeed in his endeavours within the corporate law sector. Speaking of Callum’s character, it is obvious that Callum possesses great leadership skills. I was always in awe of Callum’s ability to command a room and get people on board with ideas – even those who were initially opposed to his suggestions. He oozes class and commands loyalty - two traits which demonstrate he is on course to become a Partner very early. Callum has worked extremely hard to get to where he is today and I am proud to call him one of my closest friends. Callum will continue to have my utmost recommendation wherever he goes, and I am excited to see the direction which his career will go. Please feel free to contact me for any further information.”
