Workplace law and commercial disputes specialist Bellevue Law has appointed its first apprentice, Ava Mitchell, as a Legal Administrator Apprentice, marking a new step in the firm’s commitment to developing early-career talent.
Ava joined Bellevue Law straight from Harris Academy Sixth Form in London, having completed her A Levels. She is undertaking a Level 3 Business Administration apprenticeship with DAMAR Training. Working across the firm’s operations, marketing and legal teams, she is gaining hands-on experience of working in a specialist legal environment while developing a broad range of professional and business skills.
Her role gives her the opportunity to work closely with colleagues across the business, supporting office administration, client service and day-to-day business operations. The apprenticeship provides Ava with practical experience alongside her formal studies, giving her an insight into the different functions that contribute to the successful running of a modern law firm.
Ava’s appointment is Bellevue Law’s first apprenticeship hire and reflects the firm’s focus on creating opportunities for people at different stages of their careers.
Commenting on Ava’s appointment, Bellevue Law’s founder Florence Brocklesby said: “Ava’s appointment marks an important milestone for Bellevue Law as we continue to grow and develop as a firm. We want to create opportunities for talented people to build their careers in a supportive and collaborative environment, and apprenticeships are an important part of that.”
Ava Mitchell added: “I’m really excited to be starting my career at Bellevue Law and to have the opportunity to learn and develop in such a supportive environment. Working across different teams is giving me a great understanding of how a law firm operates, and I’m looking forward to building my skills and contributing to the firm as I progress through my apprenticeship.”
