Three trainees at regional law firm Goughs have qualified as solicitors, with two joining its nationally accredited family law team and one becoming a private client solicitor.
Hannah Francis and Amelia Inglis, pictured, centre and right, will now practice family law, based in Goughs’ Melksham and Corsham offices respectively, while Emilie Gouzien, pictured left, will be assisting clients with Wills, Lasting Powers of Attorney and future planning, based in Devizes.
Goughs partner and head of the family department Tom Boyce said: “I am delighted to be welcoming Amelia and Hannah to the team and look forward to working with them in the development of their careers.
“Testament must be paid to their hard work and dedication in having reached this vital milestone.
“I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the wider family team who have, and will continue to, mentor and coach Amelia and Hannah as they begin their careers.”
Hannah said: “I love working in family law because every family, and therefore client situation, is different. I take the time to understand their needs and requirements to ensure I give them what they really need.
“The work is always interesting and there is nothing better than seeing the difference you have directly made to someone’s life.”
Amelia added: “I am thrilled to be moving into the next stage of my career with Goughs. My work in the family department is varied and engaging and I love that no two days are the same.
“There are a great range of opportunities to get involved with within the firm and I am proud to be part of such a friendly and supportive team that goes above and beyond for their clients which is the type of lawyer I aspire to be.”
Emilie said she enjoyed working in private client law as it puts her in a position where she was able to help clients, sometimes through difficult times.
“Each day is varied and no two matters are the same,” she added.
Goughs, which has seven offices across Wiltshire, will now welcome three new trainees this autumn as it continues to grow.
Established in 1882, the firm today employs around 100 people providing legal services for both individuals and businesses, including divorce & separation, arrangements for children, employment, Wills, Trusts & Probate, commercial & residential property services and real estate & corporate services.
