Managing partner Alasdair Cummings, who himself trained at the firm, said: “It is vital that we invest in the future of Lindsays and Scotland’s legal profession, so I am delighted to welcome our new trainees to the team.

“Over the course of their traineeship they will, of course, learn more about the law in practice and how it affects peoples’ lives and businesses, but also about the Lindsays way, which puts relationships before transactions.

“Our firm centres on people - the clients we are proud to work for and the colleagues we are pleased to work alongside. Those positive relationships lie at the heart of all that we do and are why, I believe, we have such a strong track record in training fantastic lawyers.”
