Law firm 's recruitment campaign gathers pace with 10 new trainees

Talbots Law has marked the next stage of its 150-strong recruitment campaign in 2022 by setting ten members of the team on their pathways to becoming qualified solicitors.

Adeela Ali, Cindy La, Denielle Chatta-Sandhu, Dominic Bowen, Emma McIntosh, Sharon Garcha, Shaye McInnis and Zara Rafiq became trainee solicitors, each undertaking a Training Contract which will see them specialise in their chosen area of law, with the end goal of qualifying and joining the national roll of solicitors.

This is the second intake this year at the employee-owned Midlands law firm and brings the total number of current trainee solicitors to seventeen, with a commitment to offering a further twenty positions to other colleagues in 2023 and 2024.

The new trainees are joined by Abbie Danks and Ethan Davis, who both started their highly sought-after solicitor apprenticeships. This will see them progress through a work-based degree pathway whilst working at Talbots, earning the qualifications and experience required to become solicitors.

Rachel Pardoe, HR director at Talbots Law, said: “We are really pleased to have so many colleagues starting their training contracts and solicitor apprenticeships. This is testament to the commitment, quality and ability of the amazing people that are part of our employee-owned business.

“Investment in staff is so important to our business; we want to support and encourage them to be the best they can be, and our track-record of career development and high retention rates speak for themselves. ”

Back in 2018, Talbots pioneered a new SRA-approved approach to Training Contracts which allowed trainees to undertake thorough training in their chosen area of specialism pre-qualification.

Denielle Chatta-Sandhu, a new trainee solicitor with Talbots, said: “It has long been my dream to become a solicitor and I feel incredibly grateful to Talbots for giving me an opportunity to achieve it.

“Through my legal work today, I have found a real passion for residential conveyancing and knowing I 'll now have the opportunity to specialise, build experience and, ultimately, qualify in this field has given me so much motivation to crack on and make my career everything I believe it can be. ”

The company is also actively recruiting for new positions in four of their eight offices, with opportunities becoming available throughout the year.
