Bradford law firm Gordons has welcomed a new cohort of legal talent with the appointment of four new trainee solicitors and two apprentice solicitors.
Of the four trainee solicitors, Oliver Gillyon was already a legal assistant with the firm whilst Beth Inman, Dymphna Lewis and Hafsah Malik are beginning their legal careers with Gordons.
All four have started their two-year training contracts and will undertake seats across various Gordons specialisms.
They will all be developed professionally and personally by colleagues to equip them with the legal and client relationship skills that the firm has built its continued success upon.
Ella Walsh and Kailani Hutchinson have joined the firm’s pioneering, multiple award-winning apprenticeship scheme.
Gordons Law Apprenticeship was the first of its kind in the UK legal sector when it was launched in 2011 to enable greater social mobility within the profession.
As part of their apprenticeship, Gordons will provide Ella and Kailani with hands-on experience combined with academic study, as well as paying their salaries and course fees.
Welcoming the new trainees and apprentices to the firm, Gordons managing partner, Victoria Davey, said: “We are always very pleased to welcome our new trainee and apprentice solicitors at this time of year.
“They have already achieved so much to secure their places with the firm as we always have hundreds of quality applicants.
“Each of them has been chosen as much on the basis of their personality and attitude as they are on their academic ability. Our experience tells us that those who go on to succeed at Gordons are rounded individuals able to build long lasting relationships with clients and colleagues.
“We now look forward to helping develop all six new colleagues so that they are on the pathway to achieving their individual personal and professional ambitions with us.”
Employing 170 people, Gordons has offices in Bradford and Leeds. The firm’s clients include retailers AO, B&M, Heron Foods, Iceland Foods, Morrisons, Ocado Retail and Wren Kitchens.
Other clients include construction and high-performance materials manufacturer Saint Gobain and international brewers Molson Coors.
