Newcastle-based law firm Muckle has welcomed six trainee solicitors to its team, taking its total trainee tally to 12.
The cohort will train with the firm for two years, splitting their time into six-month stints across practice areas including corporate finance, commercial, property, employment, dispute resolution, banking and construction.
A number of the new additions are local to the area, including Tom Seed and Katharine Ronn, both from Morpeth, and Jess Gray, from County Durham.
Also joining the firm is Durham University graduate Cameron Horton, and Newcastle University graduates Sophie Cragg and Georgia Barber.
Katharine Ronn has also joined in the corporate team.
Jason Wainwright, managing partner at Muckle, said: “We’re committed to growth, and it’s important to us that we invest in the future. Our people are at the heart of everything we do, so we concentrate on attracting, developing, and supporting talented people.
“To be welcoming more young talent to the Muckle family is hugely exciting for us all, and I’m confident there is no shortage of stimulating work experience to come for the trainees. We welcome our newcomers and feel confident they’ll enjoy their careers here.”
