FIVE young professionals have embarked on training contracts with the regions largest law firm, Wilkin Chapman. Three are local, with Hannah Loft from Broughton and Louisa Holmes and Amy Murphy from East Yorkshire, and they will undertake two years of development within various departments. Hannah has progressed from a paralegal role, having completed her law degree at the University of Birmingham, before joining Wilkin Chapman, where she now sits within the dispute resolution team. There are some really good opportunities, especially with all the sector expertise and specialisms which are available within the firm, she said. I am excited to further progress my legal career in becoming a solicitor at the regions biggest law firm. Louisa has also progressed from paralegal to trainee solicitor. A Hull University law degree student, she gained three years experience with a London firm, before returning to the region. She takes her first seat with the insolvency team. I knew this was the firm for me straight away, she said. The doors here have opened for me and I have felt encouraged to go for it and progress,
