TWO lawyers have reached new milestones in their careers at a Hampshire law firm. 

Emma Yemm and Claire Bond have both achieved new qualifications at Churchers Solicitors, which has offices in Lee-on-the-Solent and Fareham

Emma, from the firm’s Wills & Probate team, qualified as a CILEX Fellow after completing a range of assessments and submitting a portfolio of her legal work. 

Meanwhile, Claire from the Dispute Resolution team has been accredited as a personal injury specialist by the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers.

Claire said: “My new accreditation as a specialist in my area is a huge achievement for me. Personal injury claims can often cause a lot of stress, so my accreditation will give my clients that extra bit of confidence in the support I can give. ”

A spokesperson for the firm said: "The new accreditations have enhanced their work at Churchers by guaranteeing quality and have allowed them to practise new skills."
