Steeles Law recruits newly qualified Solicitor and two Trainee Solicitors

Steeles Law has recruited a newly qualified Solicitor and two Trainee Solicitors to the firm’s established commercial teams.

Robert Hickford, a Trainee Solicitor with the Norwich, Diss and London based solicitors since 2011, has qualified into the Employment team. Robert studied Law at the UEA, before completing his Legal Practice Course (LPC) with Nottingham Kaplan Law School, at their London campus.

Arwa Salman will be offering support to Steeles Law’s Company Commercial and Dispute Resolution teams as a Trainee Solicitor. She studied History and Sociology at the UEA before completing the Graduate Diploma in Law (GDL), also at the UEA, and her LPC at the College of Law (London Bloomsbury). James Hopgood will be working in the firm’s busy Employment team, alongside Robert and his colleagues. James studied for Bachelors and Masters Degrees in Law at Durham University, before completing his LPC with BPP at their Cambridge campus. He has also gained experience as a volunteer adviser with the Diss, Thetford and District Citizens Advice Bureau.

Stephen Drake, Managing Principal at Steeles Law, commented: “We are delighted to welcome Arwa and James to the firm, and offer our congratulations to Robert on his qualification. As a firm we are committed to identifying young legal talent and particularly value our links with local educational institutions, which enable us to achieve this.”
