Joe is a keen sportsman and has represented the Isle of Man at cricket and badminton and is also a keen footballer.

Throughout his training period at M&P Legal, his principal has been the firm’s director Damian Molyneux. Damian stated: ‘Passing the Manx bar exams first time of asking is no mean feat but is typical of Joe’s dedicated approach to his studies and his training. Over the past 2 years he has become an integral part of the M&P Legal team and I am sure will continue to flourish and be a great asset to his clients and to the company.’

Joe said: “I’d love to say my studying is over, but every day is a learning day. I look forward to representing clients and M&P Legal moving forward”.
