Matthew Smith, from Southampton, joins the firm having completed his Law degree at the University of Reading and the Legal Practice Course in Bristol. He has previously worked in the IT industry in London and has started his training with Coles Miller’s litigation department in Bournemouth.

The firm's second trainee appointment is Hannah Barker, who is originally from Poole. She studied History at Sunderland University and has recently completed her Legal Practice Course at Bournemouth University. Hannah is currently training with the matrimonial team at the firm’s Broadstone office.

Both Matthew and Hannah went travelling around the world before starting at Coles Miller.
