Slater Heelis Solicitors has welcomed five new trainee solicitors to the firm, reinforcing its long-standing commitment to investing in future legal talent.
The trainee cohort comprises of new recruits Millie Peck, Saskia Shakos and Matthew Arrowsmith, alongside Jasmine Woodward and Hannah Maynard, who have both progressed to training contracts after previously working as paralegals within the firm’s Court of Protection team.
The appointments form part of the firm’s continued drive to develop aspiring lawyers and providing clear pathways for career progression across the business. Under the leadership of Vicki McLynn, Training Partner at Slater Heelis, the trainees are supported by partners and colleagues across the firm and will gain experience across a range of practice areas as they begin the next stage of their legal careers.
Tom Basiuk, Head of People and Culture at Slater Heelis said: “While some firms across the legal sector are recruiting fewer trainees, at Slater Heelis, developing and recruiting talented people remains a key priority. Trainees bring tremendous value to our firm, and we feel there is no substitute for learning through real-world experience.
“We are delighted to welcome Millie, Saskia and Matthew to the firm, and to see Jasmine and Hannah take the next step in their careers with Slater Heelis.”
Rachel Fletcher, Managing Partner at Slater Heelis, added: “Our people are what set us apart, and we have always been committed to creating opportunities for talented individuals to build rewarding careers with us. The start of each training contract marks an exciting stage in a legal career, and we are proud to support this year’s trainee cohort as they continue their professional development with the firm.”
