Trainee programme director Aaron Moore said: “The programme is designed to develop trainees with the knowledge and skills to become great lawyers, whilst exposing them to challenging and rewarding hands on experience working alongside our experienced professionals. I look forward to working alongside our new talented trainees in the future.”
