A total of six trainee solicitors have joined the firm, with five based in Aberdeen and one joining the Inverness office. During the coming two years, they will be given the opportunity to work across up to four different departments and will be assigned a partner for the duration of each seat.

In addition, three successful participants on the scheme, who will qualify this month, have been offered NQ positions with Lucy MacLeod and Euan Munro bolstering the corporate team and Emily Bryne joining the employment team.

Partner Deborah Law, who oversees the Stronachs’ traineeship programme, said: “As an independent law firm with strong local roots, our trainee programme offers a unique opportunity to work with a broad range of clients from individuals and family businesses to SMEs and major corporations.

“We are delighted not only to welcome fresh talent to continue their learning with us, but also to underline our ongoing commitment by offering positions to Emily, Lucy and Euan at the end of their traineeship.”
