Suzanna Eames

Suzanna Eames, previously Deputy Vice President of Westminster and Holborn Law Society and Chair of the WHLS JLD, has been elected as Chair of the national Law Society’s Junior Lawyers Division. The Junior Lawyers Division represents LPC students, LPC graduates, trainee solicitors, solicitors up to five years’ qualified and solicitor apprentices, and all junior lawyers which fall within the remit of the Junior Lawyers Division are automatically members.

The JLD campaigns on its members’ behalf in relation to issues such as mental health, supervision and training (in particular the SQE). In addition, the Junior Lawyers Division also hosts events for members, including forums for trainees looking for advice in relation to qualification, and forums for newly qualified solicitors who are just starting to build their practice – this year, WHLS and the JLD had a wonderful collaboration in the form of the JLD Annual Conference, which was held in Central London. Should any junior members of WHLS wish to get involved with the Junior Lawyers Division on a national level, please contact Suzanna.Eames@farrer.co.uk, who will be more than happy to help with any queries. ■
