Farleys 2024 Trainee Intake

Blackburn-based Farleys Solicitors has unveiled its three new trainees after announcing that it will retain the four who joined the previous programme. 

Anna Billingsley, Joseph Bridge, Olivia Cooper and Amy Jones joined the firm's programme in 2022 and have now taken on permanent roles.

Anna has joined the commercial litigation team, based at the firm’s commercial offices on Shadsworth Business Park in Blackburn. She will advise clients on a wide range of litigation, including contract disputes, shareholder disputes, property litigation, and contentious probate.

Joseph takes up a position within the firm’s abuse and inquests team, specialising in abuse claims and claims against local authorities. The department is nationally recognised for its expertise, having previously recovered record damages in abuse claims for survivors of childhood abuse.

Olivia has taken up a permanent role in the firm’s insolvency and commercial litigation team in Preston, having began her career as a paralegal in the team prior to commencing her training contract. She advises insolvency practitioners, directors, creditors, and debtors in both contentious and non-contentious matters across personal and corporate insolvency.

Amy has joined Farleys’ corporate team and will be based across the Shadsworth and Manchester offices, assisting business owners and management teams with sales and acquisitions of businesses, restructures, and mergers.

For this year, Farleys has welcomed Eve Abdel-Moneim, Lauren Lowens and Armin Pishro have taken up their first training seats in the firm’s abuse and inquests, family and insolvency departments, respectively.

Nick Molyneux, partner and training principal, said: "I’m pleased to welcome our four qualifying trainee solicitors into permanent roles at the firm. They have all worked hard over the last two years and have now qualified into their chosen areas as highly competent and hardworking solicitors.

“We’re proud of the programme we offer to training solicitors as we welcome the latest intake. We wish them the best of luck with their training contracts.”
