Switalskis welcomes record trainee intake

Law firm Switalskis has welcomed 14 new trainee solicitors this month, marking the largest training cohort in the firm’s history. 

The group includes two solicitor apprentices who have progressed to the Qualifying Solicitors Programme, alongside eight solicitor apprentices and four trainee solicitors.

Thirteen of the trainees have been promoted from within the firm, highlighting Switalskis’ commitment to internal career progression, with one new joiner arriving from another practice.

Joining the clinical negligence team are Callum Badger, Rebecca Grayson, Catherine Ross and Chantelle Williams.

Liam Giles and Shareen Munir begin their training in the wills and probate team, while Josie Clarke, Robert Davies and Rhiannon Moore join the court of protection team. 

Alice Ewart and Alesha Kang take seats in the care team; Joe Swan joins the child abuse litigation team; Taylor McDonald begins with the family law team; and Aleksandar Cvetkov joins the commercial property team. 

Earlier this year, Caitlin Nunn and Ellie Dawson also joined the programme.

Switalskis’ bespoke training pathway is designed to give trainees a broad grounding across multiple practice areas before they specialise.

Amy Clowrey, director and solicitor in Switalskis Solicitors’ abuse litigation department, and the firm’s dedicated training principal, said: “As the business has grown, so has our training programme. 

“This year marks our largest cohort yet, bringing the total number of trainees to 26. 

“I’m very grateful for the support of our fantastic talent manager, Jaron Shahidi, who plays a key role in helping our trainees thrive.

“I believe our dedicated programme is one of the best of its kind, combining internal training, buddy systems, regular meetings with senior team members, and social events. 

“Our aim is to invest in our people and to support the development of well- rounded lawyers who feel valued.”
