Mollie Castle, Trainee Solicitor, Family Law
"The Drummond Miller team are incredibly welcoming and supportive. Whilst you are given a lot of responsibility from early on, there is plenty of assistance around and everyone is very friendly."
Jennifer O’Donnell, Trainee Solicitor, Immigration
"I enjoy being able to work on a variety of things in one day, in the morning I could be in a client consultation and in the afternoon, I am in court for a hearing. Although I am part of litigation there is an overlap with other departments which has been great for increasing my knowledge and allowing me to work with different teams. It is a great working environment; you are given a lot of responsibility and get a real taste of what it is like to be solicitor dealing with your own cases. Although the team are always if you have questions and to support you."

The firm is an extremely welcoming and friendly place to work, where you are given the independence to learn but still feel sufficiently supported."
