Muckle’s rising stars celebrated at award ceremony

The North East’s top young professionals have been unveiled at the 2022 Insider Young Professional Awards, which recognise leading professionals aged 35 and under in a variety of industry specialisms.

We’re delighted that one of our lawyers was named a winner at last night’s award ceremony.

Stephanie Brown, an associate solicitor in our corporate team, was named Young Lawyer of the Year in a category that was dominated by Muckle, with five of the firm’s lawyers nominated in the category.

Stephanie advises clients on a range of corporate finance and company law matters, having started as a trainee. Apart from her skills as a corporate lawyer, the judges were also very impressed that Stephanie leads Muckle's graduate recruitment team, responsible for recruiting future trainees and helping to support them before and after starting their legal careers.

Jason Wainwright, managing partner said: “It’s fantastic that so many of our lawyers were shortlisted and is a testament to the care and attention they devote to their clients. These awards highlight the outstanding young talent who have already achieved a lot in their legal careers.

“Here at Muckle, we’re hugely proud of the role we’re able to play in nurturing talent and creating opportunities for young people to learn and grow and these awards are recognition of the talent we have.

“Congratulations to Stephanie, who secured a well-deserved win!”
