Trio of solicitors complete training contracts with Williamsons

Neeve Pearce, Eleanor Young, and Cathy Fairweather have completed training contracts with Williamsons Solicitors during 2024.

Neeve, from Hull and Eleanor, from Hessle, are both practising in the family department.. Cathy, from Gateshead, is practising in the firm’s clinical negligence department. All three have now been formally admitted to the national roll of solicitors.

The 18-month supervised training contracts, in which they gained experience in a variety of disciplines, followed a period working as paralegals at the firm, which operates from Hull, Bridlington and Driffield.

Neeve said she enjoyed being able to make a difference to people’s lives. “In the family department I can help clients through difficult times and also like the fast-paced nature of the work and the courtroom environment,” she said.

Eleanor said that the family department enabled her to work on solving real day-to-day issues occurring in family life. “I have always known I wanted to practise family law but was concerned about the distressing nature and emotional impact of dealing with sensitive cases. My training has helped to address this.”

Cathy, who initially wanted to be a nurse before deciding that the legal side of medicine suited her better, said: “Clinical negligence cases very often follow traumatic incidents for clients, and I find it highly satisfying to be able to bring a little positivity to what can be bleak circumstances.”

Sarah Clubley, a Williamsons Solicitors owner-director, said: “We are always looking to foster the next generation of legal professionals are very pleased that Cathy, Eleanor and Neeve have started their careers with us. We are sure they have a bright future with us and wish them every success.”
