Solicitor Sophie Hughes has returned to Manchester-based family law firm Merrick where she started her legal career.
Sophie rejoined after successfully completing her training contract with Glaisyers ETL. She gained a Distinction in her LLM Master of Laws at BPP Manchester.
Sophie was initially a legal assistant and then paralegal with Merrick. She says it was the double draw of working in family law again and helping the firm develop its unique service levels that enticed her back. She said:
“Family law has always been my true passion, perhaps because being from a divorced household and blended family I understand some of the pressures involved.
I hope that as well as applying my legal knowledge I can use that personal experience to help our clients.”
Merrick principal Amanda Merrick said:
“We always knew that Sophie had a passion and talent for family law and she now has all-round experience as well. She’ll be an asset for our clients and the business.”
The firm is also currently recruiting for another senior family lawyer to join its team.
