Muckle talent acknowledged with six finalists in Young Professional Awards 2022

Six of our young people have been shortlisted in the inaugural Insider North East Young Professionals Awards 2022, including 4 associate solicitors, 1 solicitor and a solicitor apprentice.

An independent panel of judges has shortlisted associate solicitors Beth Thompson, Kate Rickett, Sara Worsick and Stephanie Brown together with solicitor Hayden Richards in the category for Young Lawyer of the Year, and Lauryn Hellewell is up for Young Apprentice of the Year.

Six shining stars

In the category of Young Lawyer of the year, Muckle lawyers take five of seven available spots. For Young Apprentice of the Year, Lauryn Hellewell is up against apprentices from 4 other North East businesses.

Jason Wainwright, Managing Partner at Muckle, said: “As a firm, we’re delighted to see so many of our lawyers shortlisted for these exciting new awards. There’s so much talent that deserves to be highlighted and it is a real testament to our people-focused and learning culture and the hard work of the people nominated. 

“I’m also pleased to see Lauryn, one of our first North East Solicitor Apprentice programme, recognised so early in her career with a nomination for Young Apprentice of the Year. We are immensely proud to be at the forefront of developing regional talent.”

Fingers crossed

The Insider North East Young Professionals Awards is a brand-new event for 2023, created to showcase the most accomplished and talented rising stars across the North East in a range of professional categories who are 35 or under.

The first winners will be decided by a panel of judges and announced at a gala dinner on Thursday 24th November 2022, due to be held at the Hilton Hotel Newcastle Gateshead.
