Cyale Bennett

Cyale’s unconventional pathway into law provided him with the quiet confidence and skills to find innovative solutions to problems. His personal background allows him to build strong relationships with clients and cut to the core issues of the matters he deals with. 

Cyale is a second seat trainee, with his first in our social care team, during which his work ranged from managing his own cases to forming part of the legal team, alongside partners, QCs, associates and paralegals, who navigated complex high value claims in the Queen’s Bench Division. Cyale builds strong relationships with all parties to ensure claims are appropriately progressed without delay. He works to achieve outcomes which are positive for his clients, and fair for others. Cyale's current seat is in our construction team. 

Cyale is passionate about diversity and inclusion. He quickly became involved in internal projects promoting social mobility and helping to educate his peers. He has attended external charities and work experience events to share his own story, challenging preconceived perceptions of the legal profession and help attendees overcome their own anxieties. 

Cyale has been described by his teams as an individual but also a real team player, candid, open and, most importantly, a trusted pair of hands.
