Two newly qualified solicitors at the Kent firm
Kent law firm Furley Page has appointed two newly qualified solicitors, Catherine Peckham and James Campbell, following their completion of the firm’s trainee solicitor programme.
Catherine graduated from the University of Kent in 2015 and gained extensive experience in child protection matters from her time working with a local authority, before joining Furley Page in 2017. While working at the firm, Catherine completed her Legal Practice Course (LPC) with a master’s at the University of Law, achieving a distinction in 2021.
During her time on Furley Page’s trainee solicitor programme, Catherine spent a year within the family law team, where she expanded her knowledge in a broad range of family law matters. Now fully qualified, she has been appointed to the family law team and is based at the Canterbury office.
Rayma Collins, partner and head of Furley Page’s family law team, commented: ‘We are pleased to welcome Catherine to the team as a fully qualified solicitor. She has shown dedication and passion for family law throughout her training with us, and her experience with child protection matters brings a valuable perspective to our team.’
James also recently qualified as a solicitor and has joined Furley Page’s corporate and commercial team, working primarily from the firm’s Chatham office. James graduated from Bournemouth University, where he gained practical experience of the law through a placement at a top 40 UK law firm. He continued working as a paralegal while completing his LPC, gaining a distinction, before beginning his training with Furley Page.
Susan Jennings, partner and head of the firm’s corporate and commercial team, said: ‘James has demonstrated an aptitude for corporate and commercial work, while his proactive approach and collaborative nature have already made him an important part of the department during his training.’
