Kate Lowdon, who undertook her LPC at The City Law School in 2012/13 has been awarded the Gamlen Prize.

The Gamlen Prize was established in memory of the Gamlen Family, and is awarded annually to a Trainee Solicitor who is either a member of the City of Westminster and Holborn Law Society (the Society), or who has arranged a training contract in the Society’s area. The Society make particular reference to St John Gamlen, “the last of five generations of solicitors and a meticulous and sparing draftsman”.

In June of each year The Holborn Law Society writes to each LPC provider in their area, asking them to nominate one or more of “the most promising candidates” with particular regard to “the candidate’s ability to reduce a complicated subject to simple and lucid language which is suited to a law client”.
