North West law firm Farleys Solicitors has retained a record number of trainee solicitors qualifying from their training programme.

Three newly qualified solicitors have been offered roles within the corporate, insolvency, and personal injury departments, bolstering the firm’s offering of legal services to individuals and businesses.

Jodi Oosthuizen originally joined Farleys in April 2019 as a corporate executive before being offered a place on the firm’s training programme. After completing two years of training, Jodi has now taken up a position in the corporate team once again, specialising in business sales and acquisitions, mergers, and management buyouts.

Ella Holden, from Blackburn, has also completed her two-year training contract having undertaken seats within the wills and probate, personal injury and property departments. She has now been offered a position with the insolvency team based in Preston, having displayed a particular talent and passion for that area of law.

Jade Jump originally completed work experience placements at Farleys before beginning her training contract. She has trained in areas including family law, commercial litigation, and personal injury before choosing to qualify into the latter. She will be based at the firm’s Accrington office and will specialise in road traffic accident claims, accidents at work and public liability claims.
