Anna Aldred

Anna joined the firm in 2019 on a training contract, which she completed in September 2021 and qualified as a Solicitor in our growing Employment law team.

Anna graduated from Teesside University in 2018 with a first-class honors degree and an outstanding achievement award. Whilst studying for her degree, Anna took part in our work experience program and worked as a legal intern at Nifco UK, a large manufacturing company based in Teesside. She then proceeded to complete her LPC and Masters at Northumbria University where she was awarded a distinction, before starting her training at the firm.

During the training contract, Anna moved between our legal departments to gain a wide range of knowledge and experience on the variety of commercial disciplines we advise on. Completing the various seats helped her develop skills in client communication, legal documentation, and file management, as well as supporting the senior members of her team with live and challenging cases.

Since qualifying into the Employment team, Anna has been exposed to a range of litigious and non-litigious matters and she has gained experience in data protection work. She regularly assists our Navigate Helpline and Navigate Update clients with day-to-day employment queries and critically reviewing their employment documentation such as employment contracts and employee handbooks.

Anna is passionate about helping others and is heavily involved in the Firm’s fundraising activities, work experience and career programmes, and participation in business start-up schemes.”
