A FORMER investment banker has joined Colchester-based law firm Fisher Jones Greenwood LLP.

Beth Baird, 35, has recently begun a training contract with the firm after spending a number of years as an equity analyst for a city stockbroker.

She decided on a chance of career after taking a break to have two children and hopes eventually to specialise in commercial law.

Ms Baird, who has a degree in English literature, completed a legal practice course at Anglia Ruskin University in Chelmsford.

Fisher Jones Greenwood senior partner Tony Fisher said they were “delighted” to welcome her.

“She has extremely valuable experience which will be a great asset to the firm,” he said.
