“This journey has been an invaluable experience and I cannot wait to get started, contributing towards the future success of the firm.”
Commenting on the new appointments, David Sorensen, managing partner at Morrish, said: “The partners and the whole team at Morrish offer their congratulations to Erin and Lawrence on their qualification.
“They have both proven to be talented lawyers during their training contracts and will be a great benefit to our expanding employment team acting for individual clients, union members, associations and unions.”
Daniel Kindell, the firm’s head of employment, added “The employment team at Morrish continues to go from strength to strength.
“I’m delighted to have Erin and Lawrence back in the team as qualified solicitors following their invaluable contributions as trainees.
