Amy Davies

Trainee Solicitor

I joined Crane & Staples in September 2025 as a Paralegal and commenced my training contract in September 2026.

I graduated with a degree in Law and Criminology from the University of Sheffield in 2024.

I am currently in my first seat in the Private Client department.I find this role thoroughly rewarding as it allows me to engage directly with clients and support them through complex and often sensitive issues.
