Clarke Willmott—Abigail Dwyer

Law firm expands litigation department with trainee appointment

Clarke Willmott’s Manchester office has further added to its litigation department with the appointment of new trainee solicitor, Abigail Dwyer. She joins the firm from Laytons LLP to complete her training contract in the commercial and private client litigation team.

Abigail will be focussing on dispute resolution, specialising in company contractual disputes, unfair prejudice claims, derivative action and injunctions. She will also deal with professional negligence claims, defamation and contentious probate claims.

John Flint, partner at Clarke Willmott, said: ‘Abigail is an extremely impressive trainee lawyer and has shown a real passion for law both in her training contract and her out-of-work endeavours. The commercial and private client litigation team is very busy and Abigail’s extra pair of capable hands will help us continue to provide the professional and quality service our clients expect. Abigail’s appointment comes after several new appointments last year and we look forward to expanding the team further in 2020.’
