OUR GRADUATE PARTNERS
I’m Sally Rice, a Partner in the Transactional Real Estate team. Trainees at Michelmores have a very important role to play within the Firm and I really enjoy being part of their recruitment and development. I oversee our Trainees during their time in the Transactional Real Estate team. Whilst in the team, we ensure that we provide our Trainees with high levels of responsibility on a wide variety of matters and access to a range of quality clients, including national banks and well known building developers. I’m Ben Hogan, a Partner in the Projects team. When recruiting Trainees, our approach is to ‘recruit to retain’. We view our Trainees as the Firm’s future Associates, Senior Associates and Partners and therefore our recruitment and trainee development processes are very important to the continued success of our Firm. Michelmores provides a great opportunity for Trainees to develop their skills and knowledge, whilst working alongside renowned leaders in their field – many of whom directly supervise our Trainees through their training contract. I’m Jennifer Ridgway, a Partner in the Tax, Trusts & Succession team. I moved to Michelmores from a large city firm and chose Michelmores because I wanted to continue to do high quality work for excellent clients, but be based in the South West. Michelmores hasn’t disappointed. Our Solicitors advise a range of clients, including private and public organisations and private individuals, in all sectors across the UK and 10-15% of our work has an international element. There are opportunities at all levels, from Trainees to Partners, to get involved in this exciting and varied work. I’m Alexandra Watson, a Partner in the Corporate team. The opportunities open to our Trainees are so varied – with a total of four seats covering a diverse range of disciplines, but also the opportunity to undertake a seat at our London or Bristol offices, as well as in Exeter. Our Trainees are encouraged to get involved in every aspect of Michelmores life – from CSR initiatives and sports, to marketing, sector groups and secondments. You can learn more about these activities in our Trainee interviews and online blog.
