Gordons welcomes four new trainees
Wednesday 16th September 2026
We are pleased to welcome four new trainees to Gordons, as the firm continues to invest in the next generation of legal talent.
Of the four, Martha Crook, Matt Ironside and Alex Freer are beginning their legal careers with us, while Joe Cunningham returns after previously working as a paralegal in our employment team.
All have now started their two-year training contracts, during which they will gain hands-on experience across various teams.
Colleagues will support their professional and personal development, equipping them with the legal and client relationship skills that serve the firm so well.
Our managing partner, Victoria Davey, said: “I am always delighted to welcome our new trainees.
“They have already achieved so much in securing their places with us, as we always have hundreds of quality applicants.
“Each of them has been chosen solely by our recruitment team. We have made the decision to continue assessing applicants without the aid of AI to ensure we really get to know them.
“What stood out was not only their academic achievements, but also their attitude and approach. In our experience, those who succeed at Gordons combine strong technical skills with the ability to build lasting relationships with clients and colleagues.
“We look forward to supporting them as they develop and pursue their personal and professional ambitions with us.”
