Law firm Stephenson Harwood LLP welcomes eight newly qualified lawyers, after they successfully completed their London training contracts at the firm.

The newly qualified lawyers will join the firm's commercial litigation; corporate; employment, pensions and private wealth; finance; and marine and international trade practice groups.

"These exceptional young lawyers mark the next generation of legal talent at the firm," said Lisa Marks, partner and trainee principal at Stephenson Harwood. "They have each exemplified real grit and determination over the last two years – during what has been an especially challenging landscape. I look forward to watching the next chapter of their legal careers unfold, as they join their practice groups and become experts in their chosen specialism."
