In the first episode of our new trainee podcast, host Bella Gartside is joined by partners Anusheh Burcher and Liam Tolen from our commercial disputes team. Together, they discuss the variety of work you can get involved within this seat, striking a balance between contentious and non-contentious seats, and the value of non-legal work experience when applying for training contracts. We also hear about their most memorable cases and their contrasting journeys to becoming partners at Ashfords.
Each episode is available to listen to and download on Spotify, Apple and SoundCloud, or you can watch the episodes on our YouTube channel.
