Butcher & Barlow welcomes back home-grown talent

Former Trainee Solicitor, Jade Atkinson, has seized the opportunity to return to her roots and re-join the Firm where her legal training first began.

Now a fully qualified Solicitor, Jade has returned to join our Private Client team with fond memories of her time spent as a Paralegal, Trainee and NQ Solicitor within the Firm.

Having briefly moved on to gain additional experience within a boutique Private Client firm, Jade who lives in Bolton, is now keen to return and is excited with the changes to the Firm’s branding undertaken earlier this year which highlighted our accessible and collaborative approach to delivering legal services across the North West.

Jade said:

I am thrilled to be back and I have done a full circle, returning to the same office where my training first began in Leigh.

Having worked within very narrow specialisms for my previous firm, I am really looking forward to having more variety and autonomy across my caseloads at Butcher & Barlow.

And as a local resident, I particularly  enjoy working with local people and supporting clients’ personal legal matters assisting them with putting in place Wills and Powers of Attorney’s or guiding them through the emotionally difficult process of administering an Estate following the death of a loved one.. It’s important to have a local connection and one that adds valuable insight and understanding into clients’ priorities and expectations.

Jade initially spent five years with the Firm, also working within Commercial Property and isn’t the first Trainee to return to the fold.

Jonathon Aldersley, Senior Partner said:

Butcher & Barlow has a lengthy history of nurturing young legal talent and placing great emphasis on training and development to realise individual potential.

We are delighted that Jade has chosen to return to the Firm. Her local knowledge, empathy for her clients and understanding of the Firm’s ethos and values make her a valuable asset to the team and we are thrilled that she has chosen to continue her legal career with Butcher & Barlow.
