Bedell Cristin welcomes two new trainee solicitors to Jersey team

Tuesday 15 October 2024


Bedell Cristin has welcomed two new students to its English Solicitor trainee scheme in Jersey.

Olivia Shaxson and Eleanor Clarke are the latest trainee solicitors to join the two-year programme.

They will rotate around the firm's legal practice groups, before qualifying as Solicitors of England and Wales via the SQE exam system.

There are eight practising lawyers at Bedell Cristin across the firm's Jersey, Guernsey, Cayman Islands, BVI and London offices who qualified through the firm's regional training schemes, and a further six trainees currently training with the firm.

Training principal and Head of Corporate Law in Jersey, Guy Westmacott, said: "The young lawyers taking part in our training scheme are having a real impact in their respective practice groups, and are a genuine asset to our business.

"Our programme gives trainees an excellent start to life as a lawyer, providing opportunities to get involved in client care, research and business development, as well as working day-to-day on transactions, advisory matters and disputes.

"We're delighted to welcome Eleanor and Olivia onboard and we look forward to supporting their development."

Ms Shaxson studied at the University of Sussex, after completing her A Levels at Hautlieu in Jersey, and has recently completed a Master of Arts in Law from the University of Law.

Ms Clarke studied at Pembroke College, Oxford, and University College London, after completing her A Levels at Jersey College for Girls, and has been working as an administrative officer at the University of London Institute in Paris.
