Newly-qualified solicitor joins private client team

South of England firm BakerLaw LLP has announced that its first intake of trainees has resulted in new solicitor Farhana Ahmed being retained by the private client team.

Farhana undertook seats in the firm’s family, private client and dispute resolution practices before qualifying into private client. She will now be advising on matters including estate administration, lasting powers of attorney and the drafting of wills.

Partner and head of trainee recruitment Andrew Peters said: ‘Taking trainees through the process to qualify means exposing them to a range of work areas. Farhana has always expressed her desire to work within the Private Client sector and to enable her qualification into this role fulfils not only our plans to grow but provides satisfaction on a personal level which translates into the high level of quality for our clients’.
