BELFAST law firm Millar McCall Wylie (MMW) has recruited four new trainee solicitors as part of its ongoing commitment to finding and developing fresh talent.
Cathy Kerr will join MMW’s banking and finance team from Queen's University, while Patrick Boyle joins the firm’s litigation department from Ulster University.
The corporate law team welcomes Molly Rainey from University of Liverpool, while Rachel McCullough from Queen's University will specialise in media law within her new role at MMW.
It's the biggest single intake of trainees made by the multi specialism law firm, typically having recruited two graduates annually.
Christopher McCandless, chief operating officer at Millar McCall Wylie, believes the ongoing recruitment of up-and-coming lawyers is an important ingredient in its continued success (it currently employs 50 people between its two locations in Belfast city centre and east Belfast).
He said:“We are extremely happy to welcome another four new trainee solicitors into the practice this year. Helping nurture new talent keeps our firm and the legal sector overall fresh and forward thinking.
“Throughout the pandemic, we made sure to keep recruiting, keep supporting young solicitors and keep focused on training and development within our existing employee base.
“Without a talented, motivated and well rewarded team, we cannot achieve the ambitious growth plans we have. Our strategy of continually investing in the best people continues to pay off and we look forward to seeing the careers of Cathy, Patrick, Molly and Rachel develop,” he added.
