Mr Creary said, “Having spent close to the last two years at Appleby, working within the Corporate, Central Records and Compliance departments I am glad that my experience has culminated into my reception of the Legal Education Award.
“The knowledge that Appleby is willing to invest in my future, and believes that I can accomplish my goal of becoming a qualified lawyer is a positive reassurance as I prepare to complete the GDL course. Thank you to all of the Appleby family who have guided me along my way and made this possible.”
