Andrew Parker and Natalie Simpkins have completed their training contracts and are now qualified solicitors at Ellisons.

Andrew Parker, who joined Ellisons in 2008, qualified on the 1st October. For the final part of his training period he has specialised in Personal Injury and is now a permanent member of the growing Insurance Litigation team headed up by partner Robert Jones. Before joining Ellisons, Andrew read Classics at the University of Leeds before converting to Law and completing the GDL and LPC at the College of Law, York.

Natalie Simpkins studied Law at the University of East Anglia and then BPP Law School in Manchester before starting a training contract with a firm in Norwich. Natalie joined Ellisons this summer to complete her training contract and qualify as a member of the Insurance Litigation team last month.

Senior Partner Peter Powell is delighted that the two newly qualified lawyers are now full members of the Insurance Litigation team:

"Ellisons Solicitors has always taken graduate recruitment very seriously. We are proud of our retention record and the fact that over half the current partners started their careers as trainees with the Firm. Having proven themselves as Trainee Solicitors, both Natalie and Andrew have shown us that they have the right blend of intellect and initiative to succeed in our thriving Insurance Litigation practice."
