Midlands law firm mfg Solicitors has welcomed nine new trainees as part of its commitment to developing the next generation of legal professionals. The group began their two-year training contracts on 1 September and will rotate through various departments across the firm.
The new cohort includes Oliver Leigh, Bethany Steel, Alena Dudrah, Jack Cook and Tayler Bannister, with Alena, Jack and Tayler progressing from paralegal roles into full-time training contracts. They are joined by QWE trainees Emily Thompson, Asifur Rahman, Joanne Pickett and Victoria Cairns-Terry.
