Six other qualifiers will be based in its Thames Valley and London offices.

Joining the firm’s projects team are Ben Martin, 25, and Kiera Taylor, 26, from Devon and Johannesburg respectively.

Rose Robson, 27, qualifies into the construction litigation team. Rose studied at Oxford University before going on to BPP University Law School to gain her Graduate Diploma in Law.
Head of the Bristol office Peter Clough said: “In Ben, Katharine, Kiera, Lara, and Rose we have five very talented and capable people. As is always the case with our trainees, it’s been fantastic to witness their progression over the last two years. Congratulations to each and every one of them on this brilliant achievement.”
Osborne Clarke partner and training principal Catherine Wolfenden added: “Our aim is to ensure each trainee achieves their full potential. We support them as individuals with the fundamentals and ensure they are motivated, developed and challenged with interesting and rewarding work.
