Continued expansion for DTM Legal

The number of fee earners at DTM Legal continues to grow.

Richard Manley has qualified into the Company Commercial Department having completed his training contract with DTM at the beginning of September. Richard, who is from the Wirral and who completed his studies in Liverpool and Chester, is excited to have been given the opportunity to work in a commercial law firm and says of his recent appointment:

“I completed the last six months of my training contract on secondment with DTM and I was delighted to have been offered a position within the Company Commercial department as a Solicitor. I have already enjoyed my short time here as I have always wanted to practice in commercial law and to advise business clients. I am now looking forward to what will hopefully be a long career with the firm.”

Edward Barnes, a Partner in DTM’s Company Commercial Department, had the following comments on Richard’s qualification:

“Richard has shown a real enthusiasm for commercial law since joining us here and has impressed both colleagues and clients. We all congratulate him on his qualification and wish him what I’m sure will be an exciting future at DTM.“

DTM has just celebrated it’s first birthday and the number of employees has now grown to 37 in its first year of trading.

As Richard qualifies DTM has also taken on a new trainee, Michelle Clarke.

Having worked at DTM since it’s inception as a personal assistant, Michelle started her training contract in September working in the Asset Finance Department. Michelle made the following comments about her experience to date:

“No two days are the same and a lot can happen within the space of a few hours. For this reason I take great satisfaction from achieving a positive result for a client."


These recent appointments continue to demonstrate why DTM is the new face in commercial law in Cheshire, North Wales and Shropshire
