While most aspiring City solicitors are sweating over their trainee apps from a hot-desk in a co-working space, Benito Mottoh decided to do it the old-school (and slightly mad) way: lacing up and running between the five Magic Circle giants.
Coffee first, then 8km of suited-and-booted pavement-pounding from Clifford Chance in Canary Wharf to A&O Shearman, Slaughter and May and the rest. No Tube, no Uber – just pure hustle on foot.
In a town where “running between meetings” usually means a black cab and a frantic call to the client, this is next-level personal branding.
Who else is training for their trainee application the hard way?
