The Newport-based practice has promoted paralegal staff Lloyd Williams, Sara Haf Uren, Ben Jenkins and Siobhan Downes and will be supporting them through to their full qualification.
Lloyd, who joins the personal injury team, studied at both Cardiff and Swansea universities and is a keen sportsman who competed in the London to Paris cycle race.
Exeter graduate Sara studied law at Cardiff. Originally from Port Talbot, she is a fluent Welsh speaker and will join the firm's medical negligence work.
Avid footballer Ben studied at Cardiff University and joins the litigation department, focusing on dispute resolution.
Keen linguist Siobhan, from Caerleon, studied at Cardiff and Swansea and joins the criminal law team.
The appointments represent a major investment despite the economic downturn.
David Morgan, partner responsible for trainee solicitor recruitment, said: "All four trainees have solid paralegal experience with Harding Evans. We recognised their potential to become excellent lawyers and are delighted to support them in developing their careers at a time when many law firms are reducing trainee solicitor numbers."
The firm employs 130, including more than 70 fee-earners, and plans to double in size over five years as it serves corporate and private clients in South Wales.
