Gordons is celebrating the latest two graduates of its law apprenticeship.
Eleanor Tordoff and Lauren Wurzal have both qualified as chartered legal executives within the firm’s property litigation and corporate specialisms, respectively.
As part of their apprenticeships, Gordons provided Tordoff and Wurzal (pictured, left) with hands-on experience and academic study, as well as paying their salaries and course fees, for a five-year period.
Gordons partner and member of the firm’s executive board, Victoria Davey, said: “Eleanor and Lauren should be very proud of their achievements, and we are enjoying celebrating their success. We’re really pleased for them as they are both talented colleagues and great people to know.
“Our clients feel the same way about Eleanor and Lauren and they both now have the opportunity to further grow their careers with Gordons.
“We remain fully committed to our law apprenticeship as it has been a big differentiator for the firm. It shows our continued dedication to enabling social mobility within the legal profession and reflects our belief that attitude is more important than background. It is something our clients tell us they admire.”
Gordons launched the law apprenticeship in September 2011. The Leeds- and Bradford-based firm has recruited 30 apprentices straight from school since its inception.
