Committee

Carley Wilson: CHAIR
I am currently a Trainee at Weightmans. I studied at degree level in Liverpool and attended the College of Law in Chester so I have a great connection with the area. In the next year I hope to raise the profile of the MTSG not only within the law firms in Liverpool but with the local universities and the College of Law. We as a group are here to represent the views of trainees, paralegal and students and I am very serious about doing this. If anybody has any suggestions for the MTSG then I would love to hear from them.
Please e-mail me at carley.wilson@weightmans.com

I am from Liverpool and I studied Classics at Kings College London followed by an MA at Bristol University before returning to Liverpool to work. I worked as a legal secretary in Criminal, Conveyancing and P.I. departments. I am now a Trainee at Goodmans Solicitors. I am really looking forward to getting involved in the MTSG and think we have a fun year ahead with many great events to plan!

Simon Williams: SOCIAL REP
I moved to Aigburth in September 2006 to start my training contract here with Brabners Chaffe Street LLP. I know Liverpool well as I am originally from the North-West area, and love the city for its character, convenience and charm. I decided to run for Social Rep as I wanted to have an input into to the forthcoming TSG events myself, and the other Committee members will try to organise enjoyable, productive and extremely useful events - so we expect your attendance and feedback please!

I am currently a second year Trainee at Gregory Abrams Davidson LLP. I studied History and Politics BA (Hons) at Liverpool John Moores University before completing my PgDL and LPC at the College of Law in Chester. Outside of work, sport and socialising pretty much dominate my life, which is why I put myself up for election for the role of Sports Representative for the MTSG.
