Award-winning multi-regional law firm, Higgs LLP is celebrating four of its talented trainees as they qualify into the profession this month, marking an important step in their career journeys and an equally proud moment for the firm.
Kia Starks, Nafeesa Naseem, Lillie Fisher and Frankie Flannagan will continue their careers with Higgs LLP across the firm's Family law, Employment law and Court of Protection teams respectively.
Higgs LLP is proud of the welcoming, supportive community it has built. Its culture reflects a long-standing commitment to strong relationships and to helping its people do their best work.
The latest cohort of newly qualified solicitors are a testament to the people-driven legal excellence ethos that makes Higgs so unique.
"We’re incredibly proud of our newly qualified solicitors. They’ve shown real commitment and resilience throughout their training and have worked hard to reach this point.
“Just as importantly, each of them has demonstrated our CLEAR values, which sit at the heart of everything we do at Higgs. It’s fantastic to see them step into their new roles and continue developing their careers with us. Congratulations to all four on a very well-deserved achievement.”
