Top 100 law firm TLT welcomes five new trainee solicitors to the firm's training scheme. Claire Kershaw, Robert Dyson, Ashley Borthwick, Chris Diamond and Iain Taylor start their two-year training contract at the firm this week.
Each of the new trainees will spend six months in a different 'seat' or specialist team, getting first hand experience of law in action and advising and dealing with TLT's clients under expert supervision. They will benefit from a designated trainee supervisor, regular partner contact and comprehensive technical and skills training. The training is broad-ranging and includes professional skills courses and the firm's T to 2 scheme, where lawyers from trainees through to two year post-qualification receive training on key practice areas, which can involve direct contact with referrers and key clients. Trainees are also actively encouraged to participate in the firm's environmental and charity work.
This year's trainees will initially join TLT's banking and financial services litigation, corporate finance and commercial property teams at both the firm's head office in Bristol and also its growing London office. TLT has 21 trainee solicitors participating in the training scheme, which is heavily oversubscribed and enjoys a very high retention rate. As the firm has grown it has recruited an increasing number of trainees and this is set to continue across both of the firm's offices in its March and September intakes.
TLT's Training Principal and Partner Maria Connolly says, "Career development at TLT is about giving people the support they need to achieve their professional and personal goals. We recruit the best people and invest heavily in them to ensure that they are able to fulfil their full potential. I'm delighted to welcome Claire, Robert, Ashley, Chris and Iain to TLT."
