The three new associates are Joanne Clancy and Lauren Fettes from personal injury in Edinburgh and Neil Falconer from intellectual property in Edinburgh.

Rachel Anderson and Rachel High, both from private client in Dundee, have been promoted to senior solicitor alongside Michaela Dougan from personal injury in Edinburgh.

Three of the newly promoted team members previously completed their traineeships with Thorntons.

“Training and development remains integral to the growth and success of the firm and by encouraging internal career progression, it provides motivation for our colleagues to work hard for clients and the firm as a whole. Congratulations to our newly appointed associates and senior solicitors.”
