An award-winning regional law firm has welcomed nine new trainees taking its full cohort to 19 aspiring solicitors.
Higgs LLP, based at Waterfront Business Park, Brierley Hill, now welcomed nine new trainees - meaning it now has 19 ambitious individuals, gaining experience across 12 specialisms spanning business services, dispute resolution, private client, property, family and personal injury.
The announcement comes after the firm congratulated six newly qualified solicitors including apprenticeship scheme alumni Latoya Thomson who joined the firm’s property team and became the first graduate solicitor apprentice to qualify via the SQE (Solicitors Qualifying Examination) route.
Sophie Wardell, People Director at Higgs LLP, said: “At Higgs, we look beyond academic results and assessment performance – we want our trainees to embody what our firm stands for and to live our core values.
“It’s this approach that truly sets Higgs apart.”
She wished all the new trainees “the very best” as they begin their journey with Higgs and said she’s looking forward to watching them “grow, thrive and succeed”.
Higgs LLP, which has been shortlisted for the Law Firm of the Year award at the Black Country Chamber Awards 2025, recently announced a new partnership with August Equity, marking the beginning of a bold new chapter focused on innovation, growth and opportunity.
The partnership aims to broaden services, strengthen capabilities and extend the reach of Higgs LLP into new regions.
