Each of the new trainees will go through four seat rotations in different areas of the business for placements of six months so they can learn and develop a range of legal skills.

The firm has welcomed the new recruits to offices across Scotland. Alexandra Peddie, William Allardice and Duncan Shaw will be based in Dundee.

Heather Maltman, Amy Clark and Euan Fraser will be based in Edinburgh. Rachel Morrison and Morgan Perrie will be based in Glasgow, and Ross Purdie will be based in Aberdeen.

Blackadders’ second-year trainees have also qualified and will be moving forward with the firm. These include Stephen Annis (commercial property), Rachel Crighton (commercial property) and Millie Crocker (private client executries) who are based in Blackadders Dundee office, and Andrew Shaw (private client) of the Glasgow office.

Managing partner Johnston Clark said: “It gives me great pleasure to welcome our new graduate trainees and also congratulate those who have successfully qualified this year and are remaining at the firm.

“Every year, the intake of our trainees reflects our commitment in developing our graduates who have such a positive and beneficial impact on the firm. I wish both our new and existing trainees all the best in progressing their careers at Blackadders.”
