Aspiring lawyers join Appleby training programme

An Island-based law firm has welcomed two new faces to its legal trainee programme.

Ruby Agate and Katie Entwistle have linked up with Appleby's training programme which supports aspiring lawyers to qualify as Manx-based advocates by offering a two-year placement with the firm.

The pair will also be assigned a mentor to support them as they undertake their two years’ articles and five exams during the same period.

Managing Partner at Appleby Isle of Man, Faye Moffett, says: "We are delighted to welcome Katie and Ruby to Appleby. We have a talented team of lawyers here who will support and mentor Katie and Ruby as they undertake their articles and exams over the next two years."

Both will also spend time working with the firm’s Corporate and Dispute Resolution practice groups.
