Two of the newly qualified solicitors will be joining the firm’s Real Estate Group. Tara Jones will be joining the Real Estate Group office in Bournemouth and Rosalind Waite will be joining the Southampton branch.

Tara said: “It has been really interesting getting to know teams across the firm and experiencing the different offices LA Marine has to offer. Looking back, it is also rewarding to see how much I have progressed over my training contract. I am excited to join the Real Estate group in Bournemouth, where I am looking forward to furthering my knowledge in all things property.”

Charlotte Jasicki and Helen Waite will be joining the firm’s Southampton based shipping and marine law team LA Marine.

Charlotte said: “I am excited to qualify into a niche area of law and feel that I am equipped to hit the ground running. I have gained many skills and experiences through working alongside partners such as Mike Veal, James Realff and Philippa Langton.”
