"These figures reflect the firm's continued commitment to attract and retain talent, and our ability to support trainees in achieving their full potential," said Neil Noble, partner and trainee principal at Stephenson Harwood. "We continue to place great importance on forming a strong pipeline of talent, as part of our ambitious growth strategy, and recognise the significance of providing a supportive environment for trainees to learn and develop."

The newly qualified lawyers will join the firm's corporate, marine and international trade, commercial litigation, real estate and finance practice areas.
