In their own words, some of our current and previous trainees discuss their experience of working at Price Slater Gawne:

Zoe Frawley, Trainee Solicitor, Clinical Negligence: “Since my first day at Price Slater Gawne a year ago, I have felt nothing but support from every member of staff I have worked with. Being a Trainee Solicitor in a fast-growing Clinical Negligence team can be daunting, but with regular supervision and mentoring from senior solicitors, I have quickly been able to progress and develop my skills in readiness for qualifying as a Solicitor. Within the team, you have your own case load to manage, but you are able to collaborate and discuss any issues or queries with colleagues which has been really helpful. Price Slater Gawne also encourage a really strong work life balance which has been really helpful and assisted with managing the stresses which come with being a Trainee Solicitor”.

Abbie Smith, Solicitor, Clinical Negligence: “Price Slater Gawne offers a safe, supportive and encouraging work environment, allowing you to reach your full potential. As a Solicitor, I have always been given opportunities to progress my career by gaining invaluable insight into many aspects of Clinical Negligence claims. Everyone at Price Slater Gawne is supportive and there is a real sense of team spirit”. 

Niall Costello, Partner, Clinical Negligence: “I began my career at Price Slater Gawne as a trainee in 2013. I was interested and eager to pursue a career in Claimant Clinical Negligence and no better place to begin than a small but busy niche firm headed by three very experienced and well-regarded solicitors across the fields of Serious Injury.

From day dot I was given responsibility and had the benefit of accessible assistance and support when needed from senior colleagues/supervisors.

Since qualifying as a Solicitor in 2014, PSG have supported my development and aspirations with training and obtaining my higher rights of audience and Law Society Clinical Negligence panel membership.

My achievements, experience and work ethic have been rewarded with additional responsibility as a supervisor as well as fulfilling my desire to progress through their career pathway from trainee to Solicitor, to Associate Solicitor, to now Partner.

Joining PSG means joining one of the North West’s leading law firms across each department (Chambers and Legal 500 referred). You’re joining a firm that shares your ambitions and they know it’s your work ethic that will make you succeed. You’ll be working with people who share your passion to innovate in whatever discipline you specialise, and side-by-side with a partner from day one.

There’s a steep learning curve and there will be times when you feel challenged but with PSG’s approach to collaborative and supportive working you’ll be guided by people who have been there before. Your hard work will be rewarded because you’ll have played a part in some of the most significant legal cases/transactions many of your clients will ever have encountered.

You’ll enjoy working at PSG and with your team get to celebrate some great wins and milestones as well and social nights and company events. There’s no better place to learn about the practice of law”.
