Annie said: “When applying for training contracts, Muckle’s commitment to people really stood out for me; everyone is accepted for who they are and empowered to do what’s right for them. I’m excited to learn from some of the fantastic lawyers here over the next two years.”

Her comments were echoed by Pippa, who added: “The people and the support (both professional and personal) are some of the key reasons I applied here.

“Everyone has been so welcoming and I’m really looking forward to growing my professional network over the next two years.”
