An award-winning legal trainee has just qualified as a solicitor with one of Shropshire’s largest legal firms.

Helen Alexander (26), has now completed a training contract with Wace Morgan Solicitors, which has three offices in Shrewsbury and one in Newtown, and has joined the company’s private client department.

A former pupil of The Priory School, Shrewsbury, she went on to study for a law degree at Wolverhampton University. Whilst studying for the legal practise course she won the prize for the best full-time student, gaining a distinction in her exam.

Helen is a member of the Shropshire Junior Lawyers Division and a former committee member of the Wolverhampton Junior Lawyers group.

She commented: “I am delighted to qualify as a solicitor with such a firm that has such an excellent reputation as Wace Morgan. 

“During my training contract with the firm I have gained experience in the matrimonial, employment and private client departments before qualifying into private client work, where I will focus primarily on powers of attorney and the administration of estates.” 

In her spare time, Helen, who lives in Shrewsbury, enjoys baking, motorsport and theatre.
