Belfast head Katharine Kimber added: “There is a huge amount of talent in the Belfast legal market and Sarah has proven herself to be among the best trainees this year. It is exciting to see her passion and enthusiasm for the law and the impression she has made on her teams. We are looking forward to continuing to support Sarah in her career.”

Ms Mulholland said: “TLT offered me a great training contract and I have enjoyed working with so many leading lawyers in their field.

“They have been very supportive of me and invested in my training, and it has been great to work on so many interesting cases for our clients. There is a really good atmosphere at TLT, so I knew from early on that I wanted to stay.”
