A TOP performing North East law firm has welcomed three potential dealmakers.

Stephanie Coulson, Sarah Parish and Giles Kerrush have all won training contracts with Sintons in Newcastle.

Kerrush said: “I was quite surprised to be handed a case of my own to run in the Personal Injury department on only day three and am delighted with this early responsibility. The department is relaxed yet the volume of work which seems to get done is phenomenal, and I am relishing the challenges ahead in my department over the next six months. I chose Sintons due to its strong reputation and focus in the region. “

Stephanie, who studied at Sheffield University and the College of Law in York said: “I was attracted to Sintons because I wanted a firm where I would not be a faceless trainee and where I would be able to handle a great variety of work during my training.”

Parish said: “Sintons is a mid-sized firm with a large personality. Partners genuinely listen to what trainees have to say.”

Earlier this year the Newcastle law firm announced a 23% annual rise in gross fee income to the year ending January 31, 2008.
