O’Donnell Solicitors has appointed a new trainee solicitor to its growing team. Callum Dalloway has joined the firm, initially in its corporate and commercial department, working alongside Director James O’Donnell across a variety of corporate and commercial property work.
Callum, who was born and raised in Oldham and currently lives in Moorside, studied law at the University of Salford and completed his Masters and LPC at the University of Law in Manchester. In addition to corporate and commercial law, Callum also has an interest in the law relating to the music industry, such as intellectual property, copyright, and international cross-border arrangements.
In joining the O’Donnell Solicitors, Callum has become the firm’s second trainee; following in the footsteps of Suzzanne Gardener, who is now a full-time solicitor at the firm having successfully completed her training contract.
Commenting on what attracted him to join O’Donnell Solicitors, Callum said:
“O’Donnell Solicitors have really established themselves as an approachable but professional local firm, with a reputation for providing reliable and high quality legal services. Their amazing growth over the past 4 years is obviously a testament to this, which I think is really inspiring for people like me who have been brought up in this area and have previously felt the need to look towards the city centres to develop their careers.”
James O’Donnell commented:
“Having already seen one trainee successfully through their training contract, we decided that developing our own talent alongside appointing experienced solicitors was a great strategy for growing our team.
“As a firm, we’ve always set out to invest in our local community and help the next generation of legal talent where we can. In appointing Callum, we have achieved both of these objectives.
“Callum is already showing a great deal of promise and we look forward to helping him develop his experience and competency over the course of his two year training contract with us.”
