Professional development plays an important role in building a knowledgeable and confident legal team. At Harold G Walker Solicitors, we are proud to support our team members as they develop their skills and progress throughout their careers.
A great example of this is Hannah Woosey, who joined the firm in June 2024 as a Trainee Legal Secretary in the Wills, Trusts and Probate department at our Broadstone office.
Since joining the firm, Hannah has progressed to the role of Legal Secretary and has continued to develop her knowledge and experience within the Private Client team.
A new professional achievement
Hannah has recently passed her exams to become a Full Member of the Institute of Professional Willwriters. This is an important achievement and reflects her commitment to developing her knowledge of wills and Private Client work.
Her professional development has also been supported by the opportunities available to her at Harold G Walker Solicitors. Working within the Wills, Trusts and Probate team has given her the opportunity to gain practical experience and develop her understanding of the work involved in helping clients plan for the future.
Hannah is particularly enjoying Private Client work and is looking forward to continuing to develop her career within the legal profession.
