Tyr’s Corporate team grows with recruitment of Stephanie Watkiss

Stephanie qualified this September after training at a full-service law firm in the South of England but has experience in a well-respected regional Yorkshire firm.

During her training, Stephanie undertook seats in commercial property, private client and family, and corporate and employment, where she found her interest in corporate law. This joint training seat aligns closely with Tyr’s ways of working where our expanding employment team often works in conjunction with the corporate team.

Her interest in corporate law comes from understanding the commercial side of the transaction and working with clients over a long period of time to see varying transactions within one business setting. This holistic view of a business gives great insight into how Tyr can support and provide solutions for clients that they know beyond the simple transactions.

Currently Stephanie is focussing on corporate law in general to gain exposure across all areas. The team can provide Stephanie with much variation due to the breadth of expertise within the team.

Stephanie was attracted to the firm’s culture of being relaxed and friendly with an easy-going environment. Since she joined Tyr, Stephanie has found her development been very supported by the team who find the time to answer questions so she can learn as much as possible and engage with client work easily.

Partner, Chris Blantern, comments on Stephanie’s recruitment, “Seeing our team grow from strength to strength over the past years has been a real joy. Stephanie joins us at the newly qualified level and has been providing wonderful support to the team. We are excited to continue our work alongside other service lines within the firm as we provide collaborative advice for our growing client base.”

Stephanie says about her recruitment: “I am excited to have joined Tyr at such a pivotal time for the corporate team. I look forward to working with such a knowledgeable team to help clients achieve the best outcome whilst gaining insights into our clients’ businesses and broadening my expertise in the field.”

Stephanie is also a member of the Leeds Junior Lawyers Division and can be seen at regional Business Desk junior networking events.
