Ward Hadaway has recruited seven trainees to its Newcastle team as part of a two-year training contract. It has also appointed a solicitor apprentice who will undertake a six-year apprenticeship.
The trainee and apprentice appointments follow a strong financial year for Ward Hadaway LLP which recently reported a 11% firm-wide growth. Caroline Jones, recruitment and emerging talent manager at the firm, said: “Our trainee programme is a key aspect of our people development strategy and aligned with our aim to recruit motivated, skilled and forward-thinking individuals with the right mix of competency, skills and attitude. A trainee role is a pivotal starting point in a law professional’s career and at Ward Hadaway we fully invest in each trainee to ensure they have a long, fulfilling and successful career in law.”
Martin Hulls, the firm’s managing partner, added: “At Ward Hadaway, a key priority is our investment in the lawyers of the future. The foundations of a highly skilled, vastly experienced team are based on the quality of training and development trainee and apprentice solicitors receive before they fully qualify. It’s something we commit a lot of time and energy towards.
