| John Davies, a trainee solicitor from leading Sheffield business and criminal defence firm Cartwright King has been elected onto the committee of the Sheffield Junior Lawyers Division (JLD).
John will take on the post of secretary for the Sheffield area. Working alongside other members of the committee, he will play a pivotal role in helping to further develop the activities of the JLD for the benefit of members and further build on its success on a local level.
The JLD is a new division of the Law Society and represents student members of the Society enrolled through the Solicitors Regulation Authority, as well as trainee solicitors and solicitors with up to five years' active post-qualification expertise. It was set up as a specific group within the Law Society to provide junior lawyers with support, advice, information and networking opportunities. The organisation also represents the views of its members through lobbying and campaigns both in the United Kingdom and internationally.
“I am delighted to have been elected onto the committee particularly given the stiff competition from other local junior lawyers,” said John “I’m very much looking forward to taking this role and having the opportunity to work with my contemporaries from other local law firms who are also on the committee.”
