NEW TRAINEES JOIN CITY FIRM

Forresters has recruited two trainees for its Birmingham office, as part of the firm’s commitment to developing talent and expertise for the future.

In the Birmingham office, Jacob Tyszka and Benjamin Page have joined the technology and engineering team. Jacob graduated from Imperial College London back in 2015, having read materials science & engineering. Prior to joining Forresters, Jacob spent five years working at British Steel, and he says that Forresters’ “Clear Direction” ethos particularly resonates with him. “In my time in industry, I found that distilling complex information into key ideas and straightforward solutions greatly helped the odds of a successful project, something that I will carry over to my work with clients and colleagues at Forresters.”

Benjamin joins Forresters as a trainee patent attorney straight after completing a Master of Physics (with Honours) degree at the University of Warwick. He said: “A career in intellectual property, and specifically as a patent attorney, appealed to me because it allows me to apply my scientific understanding to a huge range of different technologies, factoring in both legal and commercial considerations.
