FOUR people have just passed through a Bridgwater firm’s Alan Sugar-style Apprentice programme to produce first-class lawyers delivering exceptional customer care

Managing Partner Guy Adams said: “We are absolutely thrilled for Chris, Leanne, Gareth and Mark.

The four candidates have undergone an extensive programme of activities including psychometric tests, finance and networking workshops, and culminating in a 1 ½ hour presentation and interview.
