New starters swell the ranks at Stone King

A trio of apprentices and a trainee solicitor have joined Stone King this month (September).

Tag Rowe (pictured bottom-right), who has recently joined us as an apprentice solicitor, came to Stone King this summer under the 10,000 Black Interns scheme and went on to successfully apply for an apprenticeship.

Also joining us as an apprentice solicitor is Ifthikharul Hoque (pictured top-left), while Keeana Calibuso (pictured top-middle) is taking on an apprentice paralegal role in the charity team and Sidra Shiraz (pictured bottom-left) has recently started in the education team as a trainee solicitor.

Graham Burns, a Stone King Partner and Head of the Education Team, welcomed all the new starters and said: “We’re fortunate to have as many as four bright new trainees and apprentices joining us this month, and we look forward to witnessing and supporting their development as they start this exciting new chapter.”

In addition, Jasdeep Dhariwal (pictured top-right), who has, until now, been working as a paralegal in the dispute resolution team, will this month become an apprentice solicitor.

Stone King Partner and Head of the Dispute Resolution Team, Tony Pidgeon, said: “I’ve had the pleasure of working with Jasdeep for two years now and am so pleased to see her progressing her career. This is a well-deserved move for her and I’m sure she will excel in her new role.”

The 10,000 Black Interns scheme provides experience for black students and graduates in various professional settings through meaningful paid internships that last for up to six weeks.
