University of Worcester's students become partners at law firm

Daniel Williams and Phil Harris, the two law students of the University of Worcester have been selected as Quality Solicitors Parkinson Wright in Worcester. Both of them completed their Law LLB (hons) degree in 2020.

Harris said, "Particularly with family law, two days are very rarely the same because you're dealing with people's real lives, and their circumstances are often different. It's nice to have the acknowledgement for four years of hard work, and I'm very grateful to have had the opportunity to progress in a firm which is focused on developing its staff. It's a good feeling."

Daniel Williams commented, "I was made a partner within four years of joining the firm, and I was really happy with that. My goal was to become a solicitor, and I managed to do that. To become a partner was very satisfying and means I've reached all the goals I set out for myself when I left university."
