“Having worked in Kent for a couple of years, I knew of CooperBurnett and the firm was certainly on my radar,” says Molly. “CooperBurnett’s website and posts on social media looked friendly and it was evident to see how supportive the firm is to its team, clients and local community. Then, when I came in for my interview, Joe and Victoria were friendly and welcoming and it just felt right.”
Molly says she’s looking forward to working in the Corporate and Employment teams.
“We are pleased that Molly has joined our well-regarded Corporate team,” says Victoria Sampson, Partner and Head of Corporate and Commercial. “Our transactional work is very active, so having her onboard will make a real difference.”
Molly studied Law at the University of East Anglia (UEA) and says she was ‘always interested’ in law while at school, which was cemented when she did some work experience at a law firm while still in sixth form.
“It felt to me, from quite early on, I had the skill set that made law the career for me,” she explains.
Molly worked at the same law firm in her university breaks and while doing her integrated masters Legal Practice Course. Her persistence paid off and, after graduating, Molly secured a job there, where she qualified and, after two years, has joined CooperBurnett.
“My employment experience has seen me work with a range of clients and organisations of different sizes, as well as individuals,” Molly explains. “In my new role, I’m looking forward to really getting stuck in and building on my experience, as well as getting to know and support clients.”
Adds Joseph Oates, Partner and Head of Contentious: “We are very happy that Molly is bringing her experience in both Employment and Corporate law to CooperBurnett. She promises to be a very welcome addition to TeamCB.”
Molly has recently relocated to West Kent.
“I love the area and Tunbridge Wells promises to be an amazing place to work, with lots going on,” she says.
When she’s not at work, Molly is a keen dancer, particularly ballet, and competed nationally as part of her university team. She also enjoys baking and travelling.
