Lindsays recruits eight new trainees Firm invests in next generation of legal experts

11th September 2020 | careers , education-training

Eight new trainees have been hired by Lindsays to take the final stage towards their qualification as solicitors in Scotland.

The latest recruits have joined Lindsays’ teams in Edinburgh, Glasgow and Dundee. The latest intake is one more than the seven trainees who joined in 2018.

In the first rotation of the 2020-22 traineeship, four of the trainees are working in Edinburgh. Sophie Gardiner joins Dispute Resolution and Litigation, Curtis Preston is with Commercial Property, Stewart Forrest joins Corporate and Technology and Molly Duncan is in the Rural Property services team.

Glasgow welcomes three trainees. Ronan Duff is working in Employment, Sophie Richardson joins the Personal Injury claims team and Stephanie Goudie is with Private Client.

Meanwhile, in Dundee, Deborah-Anne O’Donnell is working with the Property team in Seabraes.

Alasdair Cummings, managing partner, said: “We are pleased to welcome these eight trainees and wish them all the best with their training with Lindsays and for their future careers.

“We are proud to have a strong track record for helping develop the strong field of legal talent coming through in Scotland, benefitting not just Lindsays, but our clients and the wider profession. Every time we recruit for trainee positions, we’re impressed by the skills, determination and ‘can-do’ approach of the applicants. This round of recruitment has been no exception.

“The trainees will learn about commercial awareness and time management techniques. They will develop their ability to work as a member of a team and to deal with people who are often going through challenging times.

 “All these skills will help them deliver positive outcomes for our clients and develop their own careers. This investment in our people allows us to develop talented staff who offer not just good legal advice, but practical solutions and a willingness to listen to clients.”
