We are proud to announce the successful launch of our new Traineeship Programme which represents a significant step in our ongoing commitment to growing and developing our future workforce by creating valuable opportunities for aspiring solicitors through both LPC and SQE routes.
Our inaugural SQE apprenticeship cohort includes four talented apprentices: Lily Dodwell, Jasmine Edmonds, Lucy Dickinson, and Skye Knott who are gaining hands-on experience in our Private Client and Contentious Probate departments. The SQE route offers numerous benefits, including a more flexible and accessible pathway to qualification, allowing apprentices to earn while they learn and gain practical experience alongside their studies.
We are also delighted to welcome two new Trainee Solicitors: Borna Sucic will continue growing his experience within his current team, where his skills and dedication will undoubtedly contribute to our continued success and Wendy Gyaben will be joining our Commercial Property team, bringing a fresh perspective and enthusiasm.
Commenting on the programme, Sharon Sherriff, Buckles’ Human Resources Director said:
“The Traineeship Programme at Buckles is a cornerstone of our talent development strategy. For candidates, it provides a unique opportunity to gain practical experience and develop essential skills in a real-world setting and provides access to qualification through multiple routes. For the company, it ensures a pipeline of highly skilled and motivated future solicitors who are well-versed in our firm’s values and practices.
We will push our newest team members to new heights, whilst always ensuring none ever feel out of their depth. They will work with high-profile clients and understand the important contribution practical legal advice makes to individuals, families and businesses.
Moreover, by supporting the next generation of legal professionals, we are contributing to the wider legal sector, fostering innovation, and ensuring the continued delivery of high-quality legal services.”
At Buckles, we are committed to fostering a supportive and dynamic environment for our trainees, ensuring they have the resources and opportunities needed to thrive in their legal careers. We believe that by investing in the development of our future solicitors, we are not only enhancing our firm’s capabilities but also contributing to the broader legal community.
