MFG—triple success

Newly qualified solicitors take on permanent roles

Three promising Midlands solicitors are celebrating after becoming fully qualified lawyers.

Amelia Edwards, Rachel Raybould-Dear and Kiran Kaur have now completed their 18-month training contracts at law firm MFG Solicitors, moving into specialist departments at the firm’s offices in Birmingham, Worcestershire and Shropshire. All three worked at the firm for 12 months prior to the commencement of their training.

Amelia (pictured second from left) becomes a permanent member of MFG’s contentious probate team in Kidderminster. She will work alongside partners Robert Weston and Andrew Chandler on a range of complex wills, probate and inheritance cases.

Rachel (pictured second from right), meanwhile, has joined the firm’s commercial property division, where she will handle a variety of commercial leases, sales and property acquisition deals with clients across the UK. Based in Telford, she will work closely with David Raymont and Lynsey Cater.

Kiran (pictured right) will now be part of MFG’s successful corporate division, based at the firm’s Birmingham city centre offices alongside partners Laura Charles, Clare Lang and James Hayes. Kiran will advise clients on a number of complex business-related matters, including corporate and commercial transactions, shareholder agreements and joint venture deals.

Iain Morrison (pictured left), chairman of MFG, said: ‘It’s been brilliant to see Amelia, Rachel and Kiran thriving over the past 18 months during their respective training contracts.
