Bath law firm Thrings has strengthened its commercial offering to clients and reaffirmed its commitment to growth by appointing Carys Webb as a newly-qualified solicitor.
Carys has secured a position after successfully completing a structured, two-year training contract with the firm.
She will join Thrings’ Company Commercial team in Bath, while also working with colleagues in the firm’s main UK offices in London, Bristol, Bath, Swindon and Hampshire.
During the course of four six-month seats, Carys gained experience of contentious and non-contentious work in different practice areas.
She also received ongoing professional and personal support and guidance from senior team members through the firm’s ‘buddy’ system.
Carys said: “The quality of work, the opportunities to engage with clients and the responsibility I have been given highlights the breadth and depth of the training I have received.
“I have had a huge amount of support and encouragement from senior colleagues, and this confidence will hopefully stand me in good stead as my career at Thrings develops.”
This year’s Lex 100 – the student guide to the UK’s premier law firms – named the ‘professional yet friendly’ Thrings as a Lex 100 Winner in a total of six categories, including work/life balance and client contact.
The guide described Thrings partners as ‘very supportive’ who ‘take an interest in employees’, ‘ensure trainees receive good supervision’ and ‘are assured enough to ask for feedback and then implement direct change to make everyone’s experience better’.
Simon Holdsworth, managing partner of Thrings, said: “Thrings prides itself on attracting and supporting talented, ambitious and hard-working people, whose knowledge, expertise and skills ensure the firm provides first-class, tailored legal advice to clients at all times.
“With Thrings continuing to work closely with commercial and private client clients across the South West, and the firm recently restating its long-term commitment to the London and Hampshire legal markets, Carys is qualifying at a very exciting time.
“I would like to congratulate Carys for reaching what is a key milestone in her career.”
