Farleys celebrates 100 per cent trainee retention

North West law firm Farleys Solicitors has achieved a 100 per cent retention rate for its latest cohort of qualifying trainees. 

All four second-year trainees – Megan Billington, Finn Hubble, Stevie Kelly and Bob Worsley – have qualified as solicitors and secured permanent roles across private client, family, employment and actions against detaining authorities teams.

The firm has also welcomed three graduates from Alker Ball Healds, which Farleys acquired in March, with Emily Mosedale, Joe Swift and Erica Tollitt being retained into permanent roles across conveyancing, private client and commercial property, respectively.

As it celebrates these achievements, Farleys is set to welcome its newest intake of trainee solicitors – Harry Bridge, Cliona Carey, Hannah Mayle, Katie McAllister and Paige Taylor –continuing the firm’s commitment to developing legal talent across its North West offices in East Lancashire, Manchester, Preston, Rossendale and Wigan.

Libby Carter, people and culture advisor, said: “We’re pleased to see Megan, Finn, Stevie and Bob graduate from our training programme and embark on the next chapter of their legal careers with us. 

“Their dedication, professionalism and commitment to our clients have been evident throughout their training. 

“We’re equally pleased to retain Joe, Erica, and Emily and to be able to offer them access to a wider group of colleagues and facilities as they continue their legal careers with Farleys.

“The fact that we are able to retain 100 per cent of our qualifying trainees is a testament not only to their hard work but also to the vibrant, supportive culture we have cultivated at Farleys.

“We are committed to nurturing talent at every level and to providing an environment where people can thrive."

Nick Molyneux, training principal at Farleys, added: “The arrival of Katie, Cliona, Hannah, Harry and Paige as trainee solicitors marks an exciting new chapter for the firm. 

“We are proud of our reputation as a firm that invests in people, and our trainee solicitors are central to our future.

“ It’s inspiring to witness their enthusiasm and willingness to learn, and I have every confidence that they will make a significant contribution to the firm and our clients. 

“Our culture is built on collaboration, mutual respect, and a commitment to excellence; values that our trainees embody from day one.”
