Five new trainees have joined Shropshire-based Aaron & Partners to embark on their legal careers, linking up with a variety of departments across the law firm.

In addition to the new hires, four solicitors have also qualified into permanent roles with the firm. 

Mercedes Sharp joins Restructuring and Insolvency, while Lucy Harrison, Charlotte Price and Matthew Fletcher-Hunt have all qualified into the firm’s fast-growing Dispute Resolution team.

Aaron & Partners has a strong track record of hiring trainees in recent years and has appointed more than 20 since launching a dedicated trainee programme four years ago.

Nick Clarke, Senior Partner at Aaron & Partners, said: “It’s always a real pleasure to see new faces joining the firm and to celebrate those who’ve successfully completed their training and are now continuing their careers with us as qualified solicitors.

“Many of our senior lawyers, myself included, began our careers here as trainees, so I know first-hand how valuable that early experience can be. Investing in young talent isn’t just about building the future of our firm – it’s about helping people achieve their potential in a supportive, ambitious environment.”
