Managing partner Alasdair Cummings said: “I was a trainee with Lindsays myself, so I know from personal experience the rich opportunities which can come from a successful traineeship with the firm.

“It is a time which teaches about the law in practice and how it affects the people and businesses who trust us to advise them. Importantly, though, it also embeds our people-first ethos of putting relationships before transactions. This is something people carry with them throughout their careers, which is partly why we have such a strong record in training first-class lawyers.

“At Lindsays we have a proud past. But we continually invest in both the future of our firm and the wider Scottish legal profession through our trainees’ scheme.”
