Muckle boosts cohort of trainee solicitors

North East-based law firm Muckle has onboarded a host of trainee solicitors and one solicitor apprentice, taking its number of budding lawyers in training to 19.

Eleanor Amies-King, Annie Bell, Pippa Garden, Louis Hutton and Megan McCaughey will gain experience in four teams over their two-year training contracts, while Cassie Woodier will spend six years training with a variety of teams alongside her part-time studies.

All trainees completed the vacation scheme at Muckle prior to securing training contracts, and Woodier undertook work experience before becoming an apprentice through the North East Solicitor Apprenticeship scheme.

Jason Wainwright, managing partner at Muckle, said: “Investing in new talent is so important to the future of Muckle, and I am delighted to welcome these six aspiring lawyers to the firm.

“Many of our partners, associates and solicitors began their journeys here as trainees, and we are committed to providing the same opportunities for development and success to the next generation. I have no doubt that Annie, Cassie, Eleanor, Louis, Megan and Pippa will excel in their careers here.”
