Press Release – June 2010
A national training and recruitment award for the legal profession has recognised solicitors Stanley Tee as the best trainers in the category of medium sized regional law firms.
The award, made by leading legal publication LawCareers.Net in association with the Law Society, selected Stanley Tee as the foremost in their field following a survey of nearly 3,000 trainees and newly qualified solicitors.
LawCareers.Net publisher Matthew Broadbent said “It is fantastic that there are beacons of excellence in all areas of the law that take the training and recruitment of new members of the community seriously. All the winning organisations should be proud of themselves.”
Stanley Tee trainee Gearoidin McKenna comments “I have been given the chance really to develop and push the skills I acquired on my Legal Practice Course at the College of Law. Training with Stanley Tee has given me a fantastic start to my career in law”. Newly qualified solicitor Polly Mead adds “From day one, Stanley Tee provides a network of structured training and support without stifling individual style”.
And trainee Ruth Muckian speaks for them all when she says “I am very pleased and proud to work for a firm that has now been recognised nationally for its achievements. The future of the firm is in safe hands.”
Speaking for Stanley Tee’s management, Partner and Training Principal Bob Elms comments “The best investment a firm can make in its future is in the quality of the trainees it recruits and the standard of training it gives them. At Stanley Tee we’ve always been very conscious of this, and the LawCareers.Net Award signals our success in putting this policy into practice. We’re very honoured to receive it”.
Stanley Tee LLP is a progressive legal practice with offices in Bishop’s Stortford, Cambridge, Great Dunmow and Saffron Walden. It provides a broad range of services to both private and commercial clients. The firm has over 200 employees.
