Trainee Solicitor

Job Role at EMG

I am a Trainee Solicitor in the Residential Conveyancing Department. This is the first seat of my Training Contract. As part of this role, I have the benefit of experiencing four, six-month seats in different departments practising a range of skills and expertise in each area I come across.

Experience

In July 2023, I graduated from Northumbria University achieving a First Class Honours Masters in Law (Exempting). During my time at University, I worked part-time at a local law firm as a Legal Assistant. In my third year at University, I worked within the student Law Office where I was assigned my own clients under the supervision of a qualified solicitor. This gave me firsthand experience of what it is like to work in the legal profession.

After graduating I worked full-time as a paralegal for a top 40 UK law firm where I assisted a partner of the firm, gaining valuable experience and developing my skills. I then joined EMG in September 2024 to start my training contract.

What do you like about working at EMG?

Everyone at EMG is approachable and willing to give a helping hand. The firm is so welcoming. There is a real emphasis on the firm’s values which are reflected throughout work life. Coming to work every day is enjoyable, something a lot of people cannot say!

Outside of EMG?

Outside of EMG, I spend most of my time with family and friends. I am a big foodie and love trying new food. I enjoy going abroad and exploring new places. I am also a Newcastle United football club fan!
