New trainees for Ashfords

Leading south West law firm Ashfords LLP has welcomed 15 new trainees.

The new starters will work in the firm’s five offices across the region, with six starting in Exeter, three in Bristol, two in Plymouth, three in Taunton and one in Tiverton.

Each trainee will spend six months working in four different ‘seats’ of the law, covering a variety of legal work, to ensure they develop a broad range of skills before they qualify.

Ian Daniells, Chief Executive at Ashfords, said: “It is an excellent sign that we have yet again managed to attract so many enthusiastic and high-calibre trainees to the firm.

“We enjoy an excellent reputation in attracting and developing top-quality legal recruits. Trainees tell us that they like our hard-working, friendly approach, as well as the wide range of quality legal work and strong client base on offer.”

Trainees include Andrew Carrigan, Robyn Palmer, Christian Beviss, Jenny Tran, Allen Cline, Simon Curran, Lauren Luscombe, Giles Lane, Joan Robertson, Ruth Wood, Brendan Biggs, Toby Larkham, Liam Tolen, Jenni Simpson and Hannah Batten.

Ashfords has also welcomed back its second year trainees who are set to qualify as solicitors next September.
