Blacks Solicitors LLP, a law firm based in Yorkshire, remains committed to cultivating new legal talent within the organisation. This is illustrated by their decision to award five new training contracts and introduce two new apprentices to their team. Since the beginning of 2023, the firm has also retained five newly qualified solicitors, reflecting its strategic focus on internal talent development.
Among the newly qualified solicitors, Georgina Beavis has completed her training contract and now brings her expertise to the Real Estate Litigation team. Her role involves advising landlord clients, an integral part of the firm’s specialist Telecoms services. Talah Hussain and Daisy Jackman, also newly qualified, have joined the Banking & Finance and Corporate & Commercial teams respectively. These appointments further cement Blacks’ reputation in these critical areas of practice.
The firm has not only focused on qualified solicitors but has also awarded training contracts for 2024, expanding its pool of emerging legal professionals. Philip Crampton will gain experience across the Corporate & Commercial departments, while Leon Cordero will focus on the Employment team. Joe Marshall is set to work with the Commercial Dispute Resolution team, which underscores the firm’s strategic focus on key practice areas.
Samuel Morgan-Wynee and Eve Errington’s training contracts in the Real Estate Litigation and Private Wealth & Succession teams respectively highlight the firm’s comprehensive training approach. This initiative aims to provide trainees with valuable, varied experience through a two-year rotational training contract. This method ensures they gain broad exposure across different legal disciplines, working closely with fee earners and acquiring significant client interaction.
In terms of apprenticeships, Blacks continues to expand its offerings with two new apprentices, Jemima Parkinson and Tom Hearn, joining the firm. Jemima will work in the Residential Property team, whilst Tom will be part of the Real Estate team. Blacks now supports a total of 14 apprentices, with opportunities ranging from a two-year Level 3 Paralegal Apprenticeship to a six-year Level 7 Solicitor Apprenticeship, offering extensive practical experience across multiple legal areas.
Blacks Solicitors remains a pivotal force in the development of future legal professionals, enhancing its teams and expertise whilst fostering new talent through strategic initiatives.
