North East law firm welcomes trainees

Muckle LLP has welcomed four trainee solicitors and an apprentice solicitor to its team.

Ben Forbes has taken up his first seat in banking & finance, Katie Allen begins her traineeship in the corporate team, while Lydia Stewart has joined the real estate team and Tania Brodie-Clarke has started in the dispute resolution team.

Tania said: “Muckle LLP really stood out as being friendly, forward thinking and down to earth with a wealth of expertise."

A new apprentice solicitor, Jake Thompson, has also joined the real estate team at Muckle. Jake said: “My original interest in Muckle began when I met some of its lawyers at the open evening at Northumbria University. When they explained the core values and the diverse range of people who work here, I knew that this was the firm I wanted to pursue."

Jason Wainwright, Muckle LLP’s managing partner, said: “We’re delighted to welcome these bright, talented and ambitious individuals to Muckle. I hope our new apprentice and trainees will enjoy many happy and successful years here.”
