Thorntons welcomes seven new trainees

The new recruits will undertake a two-year traineeship and will train under senior staff.

They will learn from a comprehensive programme which covers many of Thorntons’ specialist teams.

The seven trainees are Megan Paterson, Sarah Matheson, Victoria McLaren, Zoe Irving, Saima Ali, Cara McGlynn and Lee Corr.

Lee, Megan, Sarah and Victoria were already previously employed by Thorntons.

Ms Paterson said: “I am excited to have the opportunity to train with such a progressive and diverse firm.

“I am looking forward to gaining an insight into the wide variety of departments and learning from the large number of supportive and experienced employees firm wide.”

Scott Milne, joint managing partner at Thorntons said: “Our trainee programme has developed over many years. We have a diverse range of clients and work.

“Because of this, our trainees receive the opportunity to gain crucial experience in a wide range of areas of the law.

“We believe this is one of the most varied traineeships in the sector. Our seven will enjoy a strong foundation for the start of a career in the legal profession.

“We hope that many will continue their career development with the firm upon completion.”
