“I joined Arnison Heelis as a Paralegal from another local firm, and I am now a Trainee Solicitor hoping to qualify in 2026. I have been wonderfully supported both in my personal and professional development and I could not imagine working anywhere else.”

“I initially came to Arnison Heelis for work experience at 16, gaining my first insight into a legal career. After graduating from university, there was no other place I wanted to begin my legal journey. Now, two years post-qualification as a solicitor, I’m grateful to continue developing my skills alongside such a supportive and dedicated team.”
