Her move coincides with the promotion of Katie Fulton to senior solicitor following strong client and colleague recommendations.

Fiona Rasmusen, partner and head of family law, said: “Although we are becoming a family law team of scale in Scotland, we’ve never had an interest in being the biggest.

“But we do want to be the best and that’s reflected in our team which has an abundance of accreditations, across family law, child law, education law, collaborative practice, trauma informed practice and mediation.

“While Morgan and Katie are early into their professional careers, I can already see that they have all the qualities that we look for and that they will go on to become bona fide leaders in our sector.”

Ms Perrie is originally from East Kilbride and gained an LLB from the University of Dundee and the diploma from the University of Strathclyde. She will work predominantly from the Glasgow office.

She said: “Family law emerged as my clear preference after my traineeship. To have landed a role working with colleagues at the top of their game is really exciting.

“I’d love to eventually follow in their footsteps and work towards accreditations and mediation qualifications. For now I’m appreciating the diverse workload and the many learnings.”

Ms Fulton has been with Gibson Kerr for a year and has gained extensive experience across all family law matters and court work and is based in the Edinburgh office. Her move followed four years at a rival firm, split between a traineeship and a solicitor role which she joined following her diploma at the University of Edinburgh.

She said: “I’m so pleased that I made the decision a year ago to join a law firm where thorough discussions about case work is actively encouraged.

“This can be a really challenging area of practice, with no two cases the same. This is why I think our culture of learning and development can only benefit our client outcomes.

“I’m looking forward to consolidating my knowledge over the years ahead – and intend to pursue mediation qualifications in the near future.”
