Training member Neil Raiseborough said: “Amy possesses the vital skills we look for when offering a training contract and we are very excited to have her on board.”

“There is a lot of competition out there and we get hundreds of applications each year. It is a testament to Amy’s abilities that she has proven herself worthy of a contract offer.”

Ms Cotter said: “I have travelled a lot but I’m a Midlands girl at heart and am really excited to be joining such a well renowned firm. Everyone has been really welcoming and I am already learning a great deal from the solicitors in my team.”
