Independent law firm Muckle LLP has appointed solicitor Ailsa Charlton to its 12-strong dispute resolution team. Ailsa will be supporting all aspects of the team’s work, from construction industry disputes to contractual disagreements.
Before deciding on a career in law, Ailsa spent four years on a graduate programme at a national retailer after graduating from Durham University. Having trained and qualified as a lawyer in the North East, Ailsa is now working as part of one of the region’s leading legal teams.
Of her appointment Ailsa said: 'I am thrilled to have joined Muckle LLP’s dispute resolution team at a very exciting time for the firm. I love the challenge and variety that dispute resolution work offers, alongside the scale and scope of cases Muckle is engaged with.'
Susan Howe, partner and head of the dispute resolution team, said: 'Ailsa is a fantastic addition to our team and has seamlessly settled into the firm. With her background in the retail sector, she brings practical business experience and a commercial perspective that is invaluable to clients, as well as being a very talented litigation lawyer.
'Ailsa is now working alongside specialist commercial litigators, handpicked from national and London law firms, and is being mentored by some of the best lawyers in the business.'
