Bethan Shepherd and Shana Stephany McBean join the firm on a permanent basis, having successfully completed their trainee contracts with the firm, and will become the newest members of the corporate team, based in the Bristol and Swindon offices respectively.
Having both joined the firm in 2023, Bethan and Shana have trained across a range of areas at the firm to enhance their knowledge of the law, completing six-month seats in corporate, private client, property litigation, insolvency and family between them.
In their new roles, Shana and Bethan will continue to advise companies and individuals on a wide variety of corporate transactions such as mergers and acquisitions, private equity, reorganisations and general corporate governance for clients across a range of sectors.
Jonathan Payne, Thrings’ Senior Partner and Partner in the Corporate team based in Swindon, said: “Shana has been a valued addition to the team whilst completing her seat and we are delighted she will be continuing with us.

She continues to deepen her knowledge of corporate law and has built up an excellent rapport with clients and we are excited to see her continue this growth as a fully qualified lawyer.”
