Eversheds boosts its Manchester headcount

EVERSHEDS has recruited nine new trainees at its Manchester office to cope with growing demand for its services.

James Webster, Jonathan Dabbs, Joseph Iyatts, Karen Sullivan, Lucy Frith, Nial Hanna, Sonya Veitch, Tim Richard and Antony Goodfellow will all now embark on a comprehensive two-year training programme at the law firm.

Michael Clavell-Bate, senior office partner at Eversheds in Manchester, said: “Creating an enjoyable working environment is key to securing the most talented individuals in the region, and has helped ensure that we have a positive and productive workforce.

“Running a successful business depends highly on having the right people doing the job. Having a robust graduate recruitment programme in place is not only vital to retaining the region’s graduates, but it is also important for shaping the future success of the business.”

The law firm recruits around 90 graduates nationally each year.
