She gained a degree in English at Liverpool University in 2016 and attended the University of Law in Leeds in 2019 to complete the Graduate Diploma in Law and her Legal Practice Course.

Olivia then worked as a legal assistant at a law firm in York before joining Rollits at the beginning of September

Ralph Gilbert, Managing Partner of Rollits, said: “We are delighted to welcome three new trainees who bring an interesting and valuable mix of education, experience and interests.

“It is 180 years this year since Rollits was founded by our forebear John Rollit. The anniversary has given us an opportunity to review our proud history and the recruitment of talented young people like Josh, Olivia and Emma from our local area is consistent with our theme of looking back but thinking forward.”
