New Trainee Solicitors

Many aspiring Solicitors are looking for the chance to develop their skills and acquire their qualifications. We are pleased that we can assist in this process and with 8 trainee solicitors continuing their placements, we have given the opportunity to 3 more applicants to begin their own journey this year.

The process involves each applicant submitting a CV and Cover letter. From those who apply the strongest candidates are then invited to an interview with both Louisa Copsey, who leads the training programme, and a Director of the firm. The applicants are asked about their motivation, ambition and interests before being asked to take part in a written assessment.

“We always receive a lot of applications and it can be extremely difficult choosing a handful of applicants for an interview and even harder choosing the successful candidates as the competition is usually strong” – Louisa Copsey, Partner

The following applicants were the successful 3 chosen to begin their placements this January:

I am looking forward to expanding my knowledge and becoming the best possible version of myself whilst embodying the firm’s values.”
