Muckle’s young professionals celebrated at regional awards

Last night, the 2024 Insider Young Professional Awards celebrated the best of the North East, highlighting professionals under 35 across various industries.

We are thrilled to announce that Sara Worsick was named as ‘Young Lawyer of the Year'.

Sara, an associate solicitor in our corporate team, stood out in a competitive category where three of our firm's lawyers were finalists. Sara leads transactions for several of our key clients and assists junior colleagues in their technical and commercial development.

The judges were particularly impressed with Sara’s ability to ‘hold her own’ against much more senior lawyers and for her ability to build strong relationships within the region.

Exceptional young talent

Jason Wainwright, managing partner at Muckle, said: “Awards like this recognise our exceptional young talent, of which we have no shortage at Muckle, and we are delighted that three of our young lawyers who work so hard and give so much to us and our clients were shortlisted.

“We recognise that young professionals are the future of our firm, and we are proud to support their career development through mentorship, training, and meaningful opportunities to lead. Congratulations to Sara on her win!”

Anthony Evans, head of corporate, added: "After our team's earlier success this year at the Insider Dealmakers Awards, I am delighted to see Sara recognised in her own right and win this award. Sara is an integral member of our team with such a bright future ahead of her and this win is very well-deserved."
