Lily Grunwell
Trainee Solicitor
“I love working at Martin Searle Solicitors because of our friendly and supportive approach to clients as well as our commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility”
Intro
I started working for Martin Searle Solicitors in 2019 as a Team Assistant. I started studying towards my Legal Practice Course part time in 2020 and was promoted to Team Supervisor in 2021.
I began my solicitors training contract in September 2022 and I am currently working with the Community Care Law team. I volunteered to be our Environmental Champion because I feel strongly about climate change.
Qualifications
I graduated from the University of Brighton in 2018 with a degree in Politics. I completed the Graduate Diploma in Law at the University of Sussex in 2019. I completed my Legal Practice Course with a Masters in Law at the University of Law in 2022, achieving a distinction.
Other experience
I have carried out a large number of roles across the retail and hospitality sector. I have also been an intern with the Born Free Foundation, which gave me invaluable insight into the European Union and international law.
I also volunteered with the NHS Support Federation which gave me an insight into the budgetary and staff shortages the NHS faces, on a daily basis.
I have a life too
I love living in Brighton and enjoy eating out at a wide range of restaurants which serve amazing vegan food/ I also attend diverse live music events. I swim every week and it is a bonus living within walking distance of the sea. I am passionate about animal welfare protection and stay up to date with politics and current events.
