We have seen several of our alumni celebrating successes in the Legal 500 rankings, and while there may be some we have not heard from, we were pleased to hear about the following getting the recognition they deserve.

Nasim Sharf, OH 1979-89

Nasim Sharf continued to be recognised as a leading partner in the region.  He is a partner at Wilkin Chapman Solicitors, where he specialises as a corporate and tax solicitor.

Lucy Trynka, OH 2004-14

Lucy has worked at Rollits LLP for the last 2 years and is a Senior Solicitor there, specialising in employment law.

It was lovely surprise to be mentioned in the Legal 500 editorial commentary for our team in the 2025 rankings, in which Rollits’ Employment Team retained its Tier 1 ranking!

I think my team would agree with the description of “effective communicator” if the correct interpretation is “comes in and won’t stop talking until 5pm” - but a compliment nontheless!

Very proud of our team and all the other teams at Rollits!

Jasmine Chan, OH 2003-06

Jasmine is a Barrister at Kings Chambers in Leeds, specialising in clinical negligence and serious injury.

Delighted to have been ranked in Legal 500 as a leading junior for clinical negligence on the Northern and North Eastern Circuits. Thank you to my clients for providing such lovely references!

Constance Purdy, OH 1999-2009

Connie is a Barrister and Head of Private Law Children Team at Spire Barristers.

I am over the moon to have been ranked by The Legal 500 in its 2025 publication as a ‘Leading Junior’ in Family: Children and Domestic Violence.

Thank you so much to my wonderful colleagues for the kind things you have said about me - it is an absolute privilege to work with you to try to help the most vulnerable people in our society.

Gavin Button, OH 1980-87

Gavin is a Barrister at Law and Head of Chambers at Wilberforce Barristers in Hull.  He has achieved Tier 2 status in the Legal 500.
