Jordan Ismail – shortlisted for the LawNet Trainee of the Year Award 2024/25

Jordan had a significant positive impact since joining Rix & Kay just over two years ago. We were continually impressed by his technical ability, agility, and willingness to learn and develop. He proved himself to be a self-starter with the potential to become a next-generation lawyer in a leadership role.

The moment we were introduced to Angela, we knew we were in good hands. The whole team including Charles, Jordan and Bishoy always kept us up to date and was very helpful and supportive throughout the whole process. Excellent service and we are very happy and delighted with the service and would definitely recommend Rix & Kay to our friends and family members. Looking forward to be working with them again in upcoming future projects
