South Coast law firm Lester Aldridge has welcomed its latest cohort of trainee solicitors.
Rebecca Summers, Milly Wheeler, Katherine Chalk, and Ben Likely began their contracts last September and have now transitioned into the firm’s training programme.
Over the next two years, the four will spend time in various departments across Lester Aldridge’s offices in Bournemouth, Southampton and London on six-month rotations.
They’ll look to collaborate closely with experienced lawyers, serving a client base ranging from large corporations to high-net-worth individuals.
Managing partner Matthew Barrow, who himself started out as a trainee solicitor, said: “I’m thrilled to welcome our new trainees to the firm and eager to witness their growth as legal professionals.
“They’re a crucial part of the future growth and success of our firm.”
The application window for 2026 training contracts at Lester Aldridge is open until 17th May 2024.
