Jacqueline Law, managing partner, Aberdein Considine said: “Our trainees are of the highest calibre, and it’s reassuring to know that there is a great deal of talent coming through to help support our clients as we continue to grow.

“Many of them started with the firm in very different roles, whether that was as a personal assistant, a mortgage consultant or a student placement and they have all shown incredible drive, determination and ambition in completing their studies and embarking on their legal careers.

“We look forward to supporting the progress of our trainees, and providing opportunities for many more in the years ahead.”
