Collyer Bristow is delighted to welcome its 2025/2026 cohort of Trainee Solicitors, who joined the firm on Monday 8th September to begin their training contracts.
This year’s intake comprises Jordan Grace, Victoria Kyriacou, Ella Ward-Penny, and Niamh Watkins, each bringing with them an impressive combination of academic achievement, practical experience, and enthusiasm for developing their legal careers.
Jordan Grace studied Law at the University of York and completed the LPC at the University of Law, Moorgate. Having already gained experience as a paralegal at Collyer Bristow, working within both the Real Estate Litigation and Commercial Real Estate teams, Jordan now returns as a Trainee Solicitor.
Victoria Kyriacou graduated in Law from Emmanuel College, Cambridge, and has worked as a paralegal at the International Family Law Group. Alongside her professional roles, she volunteered with a legal aid charity supporting survivors of trafficking and modern slavery. Victoria has successfully completed SQE1 and SQE2 at the University of Law.
Ella Ward-Penny studied Religion, Politics and Society at King’s College London, including a year abroad at the University of North Carolina. After completing the MA Law conversion course and the LPC, Ella gained operational and administrative experience before focusing on her legal training.
Niamh Watkins graduated from the University of Birmingham with a degree in Law with French Law, which included a year abroad at Université Paris-Panthéon-Assas. She is currently completing an LLM in Legal Practice, with electives in Advanced Real Estate, Advanced Dispute Resolution, and Mergers & Acquisitions.
Over the next two years, the trainees will rotate across several of the firm’s practice areas, gaining exposure to a wide range of work and client matters. The programme is designed to equip them with the skills and experience required to qualify as solicitors and contribute to Collyer Bristow’s reputation for delivering high-quality legal advice.
