Our Scottish trainees are recruited exclusively via our vacation schemes.

First things first, all of our trainees are the people who’ve impressed us in our early career programmes. In fact, we only recruit trainees from our vacation scheme and our internal paralegals. If you do well there, you could join us on a training contract in our Edinburgh or Glasgow offices.
