Caitlin Baines qualifies as a Police Station Representative

We are very pleased to celebrate the news that Caitlin Baines, Trainee Solicitor in our Criminal Litigation team, has qualified as a Police Station Representative.

Caitlin has completed the intense course, which includes preparing a portfolio and passing a critical incidents test (mock scenario). She has already been attending the police station and representing clients during her training and will continue to represent clients of the firm and those asking for the duty solicitor with her qualification.

Head of the Criminal Litigation Department, Rebecca Wood, adds:

‘Caitlin started her training in the Criminal Litigation department at Woollcombe Yonge in June 2025 under the supervision of Tracey Baker, and will qualify as a Solicitor in January 2027. She has worked very hard to complete the police station accreditation so early into her training, in addition to her other work commitments in the crown court. The course requires dedication and commitment, often working out of normal working hours, and taking calls in the middle of the night. Caitlin is already achieving great success and is a real asset to the team. Congratulations Caitlin!’

Well done Caitlin!
