Law firm Muckle LLP has welcomed a new cohort of five trainee solicitors and one solicitor apprentice.
The firm now has a total of 19 aspiring lawyers taking the next step in their careers.
Over the course of their two-year training contracts, trainees Abi Chorlton Wilson, Hannah Hunt, Jason Sinclair, Rebecca Watson and Thalia Agoglossakis Foley will gain valuable experience across four teams.
Ella Chandler, the firm’s newest solicitor apprentice, will work with various teams over six years of training whilst studying part-time.
Hannah, Thalia and Rebecca attended university in the North East, while Jason and Abi studied at the University of Leeds and Edinburgh University, respectively, before returning to Newcastle. Ella joins the firm after completing her A-Levels at Queen Elizabeth Sixth Form College.
The trainees successfully completed Muckle’s vacation scheme before securing training contracts, while Ella had undertaken work experience at the firm before becoming a solicitor apprentice through the North East Solicitor Apprenticeship (NESA) scheme.
Anthony Evans, managing partner at Muckle, said: “Training and developing the next generation of lawyers and offering opportunities for everyone in the business to develop their careers is something we are passionate about; it is key to our future success.
“I am excited to see how Abi, Ella, Hannah, Jason, Rebecca and Thalia progress their careers.”
