Scottish Law Firm Welcomes Four Trainees

Posted: 14th September 2023

Leading Scottish law firm Wright, Johnston & Mackenzie LLP (WJM) has welcomed four new trainee solicitors across two of its Scottish offices.

Mairi Adams, Pip de Klerk and Robyn Black (graduates of the University of Glasgow, Edinburgh Napier University and Glasgow Caledonian University respectively) all join the firm’s Glasgow team while University of Edinburgh graduate Irum Arshad joins the Edinburgh office.

Mairi, Pip and Irum will focus on commercial property while Robyn will focus on private client work.

During the two-year traineeship they will work towards qualifying as solicitors under the supervision of WJM’s experts. The firm’s trainee positions are hugely competitive with hundreds of law graduates applying for the roles every year.

Fraser Gillies, Managing Partner at WJM, said: “I’m delighted to welcome Mairi, Pip, Irum and Robyn.

“All four of our new trainees have consistently demonstrated their potential throughout our rigorous selection process and we look forward to supporting them in their career development.”

One of the new trainees, Robyn Black, said: “I’m absolutely thrilled to be part of the WJM team. What particularly resonates with me is the firm’s strong emphasis on people-centric values and I’m excited to get started.”
