Sacker & Partners LLP (Sackers) has retained Eisha Lal and Mollie Kilfoyle as newly qualified associates following the successful completion of their solicitor apprenticeships. Mollie (pictured, left) and Eisha (right) are the first to qualify through the firm’s Graduate Solicitor Apprenticeship programme, which launched in January 2023.
The programme, delivered in partnership with the University of Law, combines on-the-job training with structured study and coaching. It was designed to offer a more accessible route into the legal profession, particularly for those facing traditional barriers to entry.
David Saunders, senior partner at Sackers, praised the initiative and the new associates, saying: ‘Our Graduate Solicitor Programme offers aspiring lawyers an alternative route to qualification. Eisha and Mollie have demonstrated themselves to be excellent solicitors.’
He added that both had gained experience across a broad range of pensions specialisms during their two and a half years at the firm and said he looked forward to their continued careers at Sackers.
