Congratulations April & David!

We are delighted to announce that two members of our team have recently commenced their training contracts, marking an important milestone in their legal careers.

Both April and David have shown dedication, professionalism, exceptional client care, and a strong commitment to developing their legal expertise, and we are pleased to support them as they progress towards qualification as solicitors.

April heads up our Family Team and, throughout her time with the firm, she has demonstrated compassion, attention to detail, and a clear understanding of the sensitive nature of family law work, ensuring clients are put first and fully supported through their journey.

April Lancaster said: “I am extremely thankful to Nowell Meller for the opportunities and encouragement they have given me throughout my career so far. Now having started my training contract alongside my role as Head of Family and Office Manager, I am committed to continued professional growth, delivering the highest standard of service and client care to our clients and supporting the ongoing development and success of Nowell Meller and the Family department.”

Director Carly Colclough said: “April has shown real dedication to both her professional development and our clients. She approaches family law with empathy and maturity, and her commitment to learning has been evident from the outset. We are delighted to see her take this next step and look forward to supporting her throughout her training contract.”

David works within our Business & Commercial Team. Since joining the firm, David has impressed colleagues with his analytical approach, enthusiasm and strong work ethic, ensuring his clients feel not only supported through their journey but fully confident with each decision.

David Bryan said: “Starting my training contract is a hugely exciting step for me. I’ve learned so much already from the Business & Commercial Team, and I’m thankful for the support and trust I’ve been given. I’m looking forward to developing my skills further and continuing to deliver the best possible outcomes for our clients.”

Director Adam Mayer said: “David has proven himself to be a valuable member of the Business & Commercial Team.
