Amad Akhtar and Jo Dawson Amad takes on his new role
Amad Akhtar has accepted the position of Trainee Solicitor with Dawson Radford Solicitors. After successfully completing a six-month internship, facilitated by the Sheffield RISE programme,
Amad successfully secured the position from January 2020. On accepting the position, Amad said: “Securing this position with Dawson Radford Solicitors is my
proudest accomplishment to date and I look forward to challenges ahead. I am very happy to progress my career with Dawson Radford and excited play a role in the firm’s growth and expansion.” Director Jo Dawson said: “As a small firm it is sometimes difficult to find the right people to join our
team. From early on in his time with us, Amad quickly integrated himself as an invaluable team member. As someone with no commercial experience, this was great to see, and I am excited to see how he develops with us as a trainee. This is an important decision for the future-proofing of the firm and I am pleased we are doing this by ‘growing our own’ solicitors of the future.”
