Nurturing homegrown talent is a key component of our strategy and the firm’s culture, and I am in no doubt that our trainees will make a valuable contribution to the firm as they become fully integrated into their teams.”
The new trainees as based in our newly opened Inverness Trainee Hub, from where they will undertake a 2-year training programme, gaining expertise and skills in their respective departments, whist having exposure to a variety of other legal areas and developing essential business skills and knowledge.

Upon successfully completing their 2-year training programme, the new arrivals would hope to emulate our 2 newly qualified solicitors – Aoife Grugan and Emily Ross. Aoife and Emily have both completed their traineeships with us this summer, and we are delighted to be able to offer them both positions as newly qualified solicitors within our Family Law Team, as they continue on the next stage of their legal journey.
