SAM Willey is the toast of a Dorset law firm after being admitted as a Fellow of the Institute of Legal Executives (ILEX).
The 27-year-old legal executive was presented with a bottle of champagne by Nigel Smith, Managing Partner of Ellis Jones Solicitors, to mark his success.
Sam joined Ellis Jones in 2007 after graduating from Bournemouth University with a law degree, initially working in residential conveyancing out of the firm’s Ringwood office.
He was sponsored by the law firm to study for the ILEX qualification and has specialised in commercial property since early 2008.
A keen sportsman, Sam enjoys tennis and football in his spare time as well as travelling.
Mr Smith said Ellis Jones had enjoyed 18 years’ unbroken success as an Investor in People (IiP), the UK’s leading people management quality standard.
He added: “Sam’s achievement is consistent with our IiP award and shows that a commitment to support the professional development of our staff goes beyond a certificate on the wall.”
