SAS Daniels LLP

Firm achieves 100% retention rate of trainee solicitors

North West firm SAS Daniels LLP has strengthened the team with the addition of four newly-qualified solicitors who have successfully completed their training contracts with the firm.

Charlie Wood, Alex Nortier, Gemma O’Brien and Katie Hitchen (pictured, left to right) have spent the last two years undertaking four six-month placements in various departments within the firm, and will now take up permanent seats in the employment and HR, litigation and commercial property teams, respectively.

The firm’s head of employment and one of its trainee scheme leaders Karen Barker said: ‘We’re delighted that we’ve been able to provide each of our trainee solicitors with a permanent position. We always aim to have a 100% retention rate, knowing that we have such talented individuals on our programme. They have worked extremely hard during their time in training and we’re confident they will each excel in their respective specialisms.’

Applications for the September 2020 intake will open from 1 January 2019, and close on 8 March 2019.
