New trainees join Shrewsbury law firm
Aaron & Partners has added new faces to its training programme at firm's county office
A law firm in Shrewsbury is expanding its team with the recruitment of two new trainees.
Aaron & Partners has hired Abby Spalding and Emily Turnbull as part of its latest cohort of trainees which also includes six new faces in its Chester office.
The trainees will be working across a range of practice areas including real estate, dispute resolution, employment, restructuring and insolvency, planning and environmental.
In addition to the new trainees, five other staff members have progressed into their second year and three have qualified as solicitors.
The latest cohort also marks a change in the firm's trainee programme with real estate partner Joe Fletcher-Hunt taking over as training principal from partner and head of the Shrewsbury office Hugh Strickland who has held the role for the past seven years.
The programme has become an important part of Aaron & Partners' approach to developing talent, with 26 current members of the firm either undertaking their training contract or having qualified as solicitors through the programme.
Nick Clarke, chief executive at Aaron & Partners, said: "Developing talented people and giving them opportunities to build long and rewarding careers with us is incredibly important to the firm.
"It's particularly pleasing that several of this year's new trainees have already spent time with Aaron & Partners in other roles and are now taking the next step in their careers.
"Alongside welcoming eight new trainees, seeing another three colleagues qualify as solicitors and continue their careers with us is a great reflection of the quality of the talent coming through the firm."
