Newly qualified Solicitor Ciaran Keane takes up full-time role in Commercial and Corporate Services

Wards Solicitors' latest 'home grown' lawyer, Ciaran Keane, has now qualified and joined our expanding Commercial and Corporate Services team.

Ciaran first came to work with us after completing his law degree in 2015. Before becoming a Wards Solicitors' trainee lawyer, he worked as a full time member of support staff across the firm whilst studying part time for his Legal Practice Course (LPC), gaining valuable inside knowledge of the law as he did so.

All his hard work has now paid off and we are delighted to welcome him as a fully qualified Solicitor to the Commercial and Corporate Services team where he will work alongside Partner Bridget Juckes and Solicitor Associate Joanne Turner, both highly experienced.

Managing Partner, David Sheridan, says: "Ciaran has worked extremely hard and I am delighted to now welcome him to Wards Solicitors as a fully qualified solicitor. I am sure his career will go from strength to strength."
