Rising stars earn promotion at Rollits

Rollits LLP has announced the promotion of two trainee solicitors who each took a different route into the profession.

Millie Bird, who has been promoted into the firm’s dispute resolution department, initially joined Rollits in 2021 as a paralegal with the property team in the York office before progressing to become a trainee solicitor in March 2023.

Molly Bloom’s first experience of the firm was as a participant in the summer work experience scheme in 2019. She started her training contract in 2022 and has now joined the firm’s employment law team.

Millie attended George Pindar School in Scarborough and then progressed to Scarborough Sixth Form College before embarking on her legal career. She studied at The University of Law in Leeds, graduating with First Class Honours in 2019 and staying on to pass her LPC with Distinction a year later.

Molly studied at the University of Hull after leaving Longcroft School in Beverley, graduated in 2021 with a First Class (Hons) degree in Law and then completed an MSc in Business Management which she passed with distinction. She then moved to The University of Law in Leeds to complete her Legal Practice Course.

Ralph Gilbert, Managing Partner at Rollits said: “As a firm we're committed to encouraging and facilitating the various avenues into the legal profession and it's incredibly satisfying to see people take these opportunities.”

“Millie came through the paralegal route and Molly was introduced to the profession through our summer work experience scheme. I’m delighted to see both of them progress and we look forward to helping them achieve success in their chosen profession.”
