In addition, three of the years qualifying trainees will remain with the firm when they qualify in the autumn.

• Meggie Sheldon will join the commercial property department;
• Hannah Abbott will join the family department;
• Katen Patel will join the commercial department.

Gareth Horner, Managing Partner, Parker Bullen, said: “Covid has focused peoples’ minds, giving them time to think about their personal circumstances, aspirations and concerns. We are seeing the benefits of that. Unlike some firms we also stayed open throughout the pandemic to better serve our clients, as a result we have benefited from the strong property market and from businesses that needed legal support. Our philosophy remains growing our existing talent and recruiting in order to serve our clients’ needs.”
