Yorkshire law firm Gordons has announced that all seven of its second year trainees from its Leeds and Bradford offices have successfully qualified as solicitors and they will be retained by the practice to further enable its controlled growth strategy.

The newly qualified solicitors have completed Gordons’ extensive and varied training programme that includes four six month seats in the commercial litigation, corporate, commercial property and private client departments.

The seven solicitors will join and strengthen the firm’s existing corporate, commercial litigation, commercial property, personal law and contentious wills, trusts & probate teams.

Gordons’ training partner and head of employment, Philip Paget, said: “We understand that an important aspect of maintaining our controlled growth is to recruit and nurture outstanding people that are able to enhance our culture and deliver an excellent service to our clients.

“All seven of the newly qualified solicitors have shown outstanding ability, determination and dynamism during their time with us so we are very pleased to be able to offer them roles within the firm. We look forward to working with them as their careers develop at Gordons”.

The successful new solicitors are Amanda Blacker, corporate; Grace Cowling, commercial litigation; Greg Dixon, personal law; Gareth Miles, commercial property; Oliver Turner, corporate; Louise Tatton; contentious wills, trusts & probate and Mark Jones, commercial litigation.
