Merseyside firm develops in-house talent with four new training contracts

Kirwans, which celebrates its 70th anniversary this year, has awarded four of its legal clerks training contracts.

Carl Nadim, Amanda York, Gabrielle Kitchen and Hannah Bibby have joined Annie Thomas, who was awarded a training contract last year, in securing places on the highly contested scheme, with the potential to become qualified solicitors within Kirwans.

The firm is one of the oldest legal firms in the region and has offices in Liverpool, Wirral and Southport.

Managing partner David Kirwan said: ‘Just as it’s important to reflect on all that Kirwans has achieved as we mark our 70th year, it is also vital that we continue to plan for the future so that we can continue to offer our clients the quality service they expect from us. Our new trainees are a vital part of that planning. It is a joy to see these well-deserving internal candidates achieve this incredible next step in their career, and I look forward to seeing their progress as they work alongside senior colleagues in a wide range of areas over the next two years.’
