Newly qualified duo complete law firm training contracts

Two up and coming lawyers are celebrating after completing their training contracts with leading Worcestershire law firm mfg Solicitors.

Solicitors Reuben Grimshaw and Lucy Allen have now been appointed into full-time positions having completed their respective qualifications over a two-year period.

Reuben joined the firm as a trainee solicitor in 2022 and since then worked across a variety of the firm’s specialist departments as part of his training contract. Now qualified, he will take up a position within the firm’s Kidderminster-based Commercial Litigation team, reporting to partner and head of department, Sam Pedley (pictured, centre).

Lucy, meanwhile, joined the firm as a paralegal in 2021 and began her training contract in September 2022. Based at mfg’s offices in the heart of Birmingham, she now begins a full-time role within the Civil Litigation division, working in the firm’s Personal Injury and Clinical Negligence team, reporting to head of personal injury and clinical negligence, David Lydon.

Sam Pedley, partner at mfg Solicitors said: 'We have an extremely strong breadth of talent coming through which is vital as we plan for further growth across the region.

'Without a doubt, both Reuben and Lucy are future stars of the industry. During their two years of training, they have continuously impressed through their professionalism and dedication, whilst both building excellent reputation with our clients.

'It’s a big moment for them to now be fully qualified solicitors and we look forward to them contributing to our success in the months and years ahead.'

mfg Solicitors has offices in Birmingham, Kidderminster, Worcester, Bromsgrove, Ludlow and Telford.
