After a successful year of growth following the acquisition of Grindeys Solicitors on top of Sarah Longley successfully qualifying as a solicitor back in autumn of 2019, Tinsdills’ Family Department has continued to go from strength to strength.

This week, the celebrations continued on Thursday 3 September as Heather Arnold successfully completed her training contract and joined the family department as a newly qualified solicitor on a permanent basis, bringing the department to a strong team of six.

Heather has since completed seats within the Family, Commercial Property and Wills, Trust and Probate departments, gaining a wealth of experience across various aspects of private and business client matters.

Commenting on her experience as a trainee, Heather said: “I have thoroughly enjoyed my training contract at Tinsdills Solicitors. Over the past two years I have gained so much hands-on experience in handling my own workload and client base.

“I would like to thank the firm as well as all of my colleagues for their continued support and the opportunities I have been given whilst working here. I am excited to start my career as a fully-qualified solicitor in Tinsdills’ Family Department.”

Heather will join an extensively experienced family law team who have over 50 years collective experience between them across all aspects of family law matters including; divorce proceedings, child matters and financial settlements to name a few.
