Kate WilliamsMaidenhead-girl Kate Williams has been awarded a training contract with Colemans Solicitors LLP having just completed the Legal Practice Course at the College of Law in London.

Kate’s first contact with Colemans was during a work experience placement while still at Newlands School but she then joined the firm full time as a paralegal secretary. This experience served to confirm her ambitions to become a lawyer and she subsequently graduated from Kingston University with 2:1 in Law LLB (Hons) with Business. She says, “I wanted an intellectual challenge and a career in which no two days are the same. I am looking forward to working in a field that is so prone to change, and to using specialist knowledge and experience to help businesses or individuals with their problems.”

A training contract, which is not easily acquired, is a period of practice-based training that is tailor made for graduates who wish to qualify as a solicitor.

Colemans’ managing partner Mike Stone says, “I am delighted that we have been able to offer Kate a contract and we are looking forward to seeing her develop into a highly competent lawyer.
