Two friends who studied law together in Birmingham have qualified as solicitors at a Leamington law firm.

Lois Harrison and Eilidh Rose, who were both in the same class at the University of Law in Birmingham, were trainee solicitors at Berrymans Solicitors in Rugby Road.

Lois, who joined the firm in 2007 in the conveyancing department, later becoming a chartered legal executive, has now qualified as a solicitor and is currently working in the personal injury and medical negligence department.

Eilidh, who also studied Spanish at Bristol University, has completed her two-year training contract with the firm and has also now qualified as a solicitor, working in the matrimonial department.

Joint senior partner Richard Thornton: “Both of them have shown considerable promise and have worked hard to achieve their success. I am confident that they will have very successful careers at Berrymans Solicitors and indeed both are already proving to be invaluable members of the team.”
