Leading Scottish law firm Wright, Johnston & Mackenzie LLP (WJM) has welcomed four new aspiring solicitors across three of its Scottish offices.
Lois Legge, who studied at the University of Aberdeen and the University of Glasgow, has taken up a position in the Inverness office.
Carol Baxter and Angus Rutherford, will be starting their legal careers in the firm’s Glasgow office and Thomas Fairbairn joins the firm’s Edinburgh team.
Fraser Gillies, managing partner at WJM, said: “When taking on a new cohort of trainees, we seek academic excellence, ambition, and a client-centric approach to law.
“We understand that a career in law requires a dynamic and creative approach, so we look for and celebrate those traits when we see them.”
Ms Legge said: “I’m incredibly happy to be joining WJM. It’s a large firm where I’ll have the opportunity to work across a wide range of clients and specialisms, but I also really like their people-centred ethos and how approachable the team members are.
“I’m really excited to learn more about each area of the business and to gain some invaluable experience with the firm.”
The trainee solicitors will commence their two-year traineeship before becoming fully qualified solicitors.
During the trainees’ placements with WJM, they will gain experience in a range of practice areas including private client, corporate, and family law, rotating to spend time in a new department every six months.
