Blake Morgan welcomes 23 trainees and newly qualified solicitors
Leading UK law firm Blake Morgan is celebrating a recent record number of new trainee lawyers, and a strong cohort of newly qualified (NQ) solicitors at the firm this year. Three current employees and 13 new trainees will begin training contracts in September, representing a post-pandemic high for Blake Morgan, while seven NQs will start their new roles at the firm.
First year trainees at the firm will join Blake Morgan’s offices in Cardiff, London, Oxford, Reading, and Southampton, where they will complete structured training in a number of areas, including Commercial Litigation, Real Estate, Construction, and Banking & Finance.
Blake Morgan’s seven NQs will begin their roles in the firm’s Reading, Oxford, Southampton, and London offices, and specialise in a variety of practice areas, from Private Client and Property, to Corporate and Risk and Compliance.
Helen Bunker, Chair of Blake Morgan, said:
On behalf of my colleagues across our UK offices, I’d like to extend a warm welcome to our new joiners, and a massive congratulations to those who have recently qualified.
With a post-pandemic high for new trainees this year, we’re showing how seriously we take our commitment to invest in the next generation of talent. Blake Morgan is brimming with opportunities to learn, grow, and develop – and we hope our new lawyers and trainees continue to see the firm as a place to build their expertise and excel across our highly regarded teams.
