Mark Heath
Mark Heath, Partner
“As a partner in the firm, I look back at my training with Watson Burton when I joined the firm in 1994 and can’t believe how much I have learnt. I have worked hard to develop my own niche in the market dealing with commercial fraud for the public and private sector. My knowledge of the law and its developments has significantly increased, yet at the same time I have developed broader knowledge of business as a whole. I now see myself as not just a legal advisor, but as a business consultant for clients.”

“I joined the firm in 1999 and I am now a partner in the largest construction law team outside of London. Having trained with Watson Burton, I would thoroughly recommend the firm. Watson Burton offers unparalleled experience during your training contract that continues upon qualification. As a leading regional practice, the firm exposes you to high level projects from top local, national and international clients. As a trainee, you will be an important team member from the second you start with direct client contact. You are encouraged to take responsibility and you are given the support you need to develop.”

Jacqueline Turner, Associate
“Watson Burton’s focus on staff training and development means that my career with the firm has come a long way in a very short space of time. I was given a great deal of responsibility throughout my training and direct support from high level fee earners. Additionally, I was exposed to work in a wide variety of areas which meant that I did not need to specialise too early in my career. As a result of this, I was able to make an informed decision as to which area of law I wanted to qualify in. I began as a trainee in September 2001 and now deal with a broad spread of employment matters within a growing team.”
