KEIGHLEY law firm AWB Charlesworth has welcomed another qualified solicitor to its team.

Andrew Foulds, who joined the company in 2012, has now completed his training contract.

During his training he covered areas ranging from wills and probate to conveyancing, but he has chosen to specialise in family law.

He will receive ongoing support from family law solicitor and partner, Julie Bridgman.

She said: "I am delighted that Andrew has qualified as a solicitor.

"It is exciting to be expanding the family department and we look forward to helping more clients with our growing team."

Mr Foulds said: "I have always had a keen interest in the law and how it affects everyone in their daily lives.

"I have chosen to specialise in family law as I find it a diverse and interesting area.

"It is about helping people find a resolution in times of difficulty and assisting them in moving on with their lives."

After graduating with an honours degree in law, he spent a year in Australia, where he pursued his passion for playing cricket.

He is a member of cricket and rugby teams.
