Miller Hendry expands legal team in Perth and Dundee with two new recruits

Edinburgh University law graduate Adam Hoggan has joined Miller Hendry’s Dundee office after finishing his studies over the summer.

Mr Hoggan has been joined by fellow trainee Rebecca Coltart, who obtained her LLB from Robert Gordon University before completing her Diploma in Legal Practice at Dundee University. She will be based in the firm’s Perth office.

Both trainees will spend six-month rotations in four different areas of the business over the next two years - residential property, commercial, court and private client, where they have both begun their traineeship.

Ms Coltart said: “Having recently graduated, I am really excited to join the Miller Hendry team. There are not that many legal firms which give their trainees the opportunity to spend time in each department and try out the different specialisms within the company, so it’s a great place to be. You get an idea when you’re studying where you might like to specialise, but that could all change over the next two years.”

Mr Hoggan, who is from Forfar originally, added: “Being from the local area, I knew Miller Hendry was a well established firm with a good reputation, so I was keen to apply for a trainee position. It’s great being able to learn about the different specialisms during the first two years and I’m currently really enjoying learning more about Private Client work and working on ‘real-life’ cases.”

John Thom, chairman of Miller Hendry, commented: “We are delighted to be expanding our legal team welcoming Rebecca and Adam in our Perth and Dundee offices. It is always exciting to recruit newly graduated trainees into the firm and see how they develop during their traineeships. Rebecca and Adam’s arrival marks another period of expansion for our business as we continue to meet growing client demand.”
