Top 100 law firm TLT – which has offices in Bristol and London – has offered roles to almost 90% of its trainee solicitors qualifying this month.
Being retained by the firm after completing their two-year training contracts are Duncan Coats, Kate Langton, Fiona Leitch, Alex Mills, Alex Murdie, Peter Skeen, Lizzie Stone and Nicola Warner.
The newly-qualified solicitors will join TLT’s employment, real estate, corporate, construction, banking and asset finance, pensions and incentives and family teams in Bristol and London.
TLT, described by The Financial Times as one of Europe’s most innovative law firms, has 25 in its training programme. It is taking on a further five next month – Georgina Applegate, Danielle Flack, Tim Needle, Ben Player and Sarah Rees-Leonard. They will also work in various teams across TLT’s Bristol and London offices.
Deputy training partner Andrew Webber said: “These figures reflect our commitment to attracting and retaining some of the best talent in the industry. I’m delighted that even amidst uncertain market conditions, TLT continues to nurture talent.”
Trainees at TLT gain first-hand experience of the law and advising TLT’s clients, which include FTSE-listed and national and international businesses, such as EDF Energy, Punch Taverns, Nationwide, Triodos Bank, WH Smith, Barclays Bank, the Co-operative Group and the Metropolitan Police Authority.
