Ten trainees take up their seats

Midlands and East Anglia firm Roythornes Solicitors has welcomed its largest ever cohort of trainees, with ten newcomers joining the firm. The ten trainees will specialise in wide range of areas including agriculture, food and drink, private client, property and litigation.

Rebecca Earth, one of the new trainees at Roythornes, said: ‘I’m delighted to have made the change from a support role to trainee solicitor and am looking forward to furthering my career as a qualified solicitor. My first seat is with the commercial property team, which I’m really enjoying as the work is varied, and I have the opportunity to work alongside well respected and knowledgeable partners. Roythornes is great at listening to you and allocating seats based, where possible, on your interests.’

Gillian Nash-Kennell, HR director at Roythornes, said: ‘We pride ourselves in being ahead of the curve in supporting the next generation of legal professionals, so we’re delighted to welcome our biggest intake of trainees to date. As they take the next step in pursuit of a legal career we are committed to their development, both academically and practically, and look forward to watching them flourish within the business.’
