Yorkshire firm welcomes trainees & apprentices

Yorkshire law firm Blacks Solicitors has confirmed five new training contracts and welcomed two new apprentices. The firm has also retained five newly qualified solicitors since the beginning of 2023.

The five trainees are: Philip Crampton (corporate & commercial), Leon Cordero (employment), Joe Marshall (commercial dispute resolution), Samuel Morgan-Wynne (real estate litigation) and Eve Errington (private wealth & succession). 

The firm has also offered apprenticeships to Jemima Parkinson and Tom Hearn., who are working in the residential property and real estate teams respectively. Blacks now supports 14 apprentices, with one apprentice recently qualifying as a solicitor.

The firm is also celebrating newly qualified solicitor Georgina Beavis, who has completed her training contract at the firm and joined the real estate litigation team, offering expertise in advising landlord clients as part of Blacks’ specialist telecoms offering. Talah Hussain and Daisy Jackman, who are also newly qualified, have joined the banking & finance and corporate & commercial teams. 

Commenting on becoming newly qualified, Talah said: ‘I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to complete my training at Blacks. The hands-on experience and support from the team has been invaluable in preparing me for this next stage of my career. I’m excited to now be part of the banking & finance team and continue honing my skills within such a dynamic and supportive environment.’

Tom Moyes, training partner at Blacks, said: ‘We are always on the lookout for up and coming legal talent and have a variety of options available, from training contracts to apprenticeships, which means that we can widen the net when it comes to attracting individuals to a career in law. I want to offer my congratulations to Georgina, Talah, and Daisy on successfully qualifying, and I wish all our trainees, NQs, and apprentices success in the coming months as they begin working across different teams and progress in their careers.’
