A QUALIFIED solicitor who specialises in family law has been appointed at the legal practice Corlett Bolton.
Rebecca Coleman has started training as a Manx Advocate after qualifying as a solicitor - of both England and Wales - earlier this year.
She will take the Manx Bar exams in 2011.
Sally Bolton, principal at Corlett Bolton, said: “Rebecca’s hands-on experience outside the Island will be of considerable value to us as we are regularly called upon to advise on family and financial matters spanning both UK and Isle of Man jurisdictions as well as jurisdictions further afield.”
Rebecca studied law at Northumbria University and completed a two year training contract in the North West of England before taking up permanent residency in the Island last year.
She said: “I am pleased to be working with such a dedicated team and am excited for the future and the challenges that it will bring.”
The legal practice is situated on Finch Road in Douglas.
