Edinburgh-based law firm and estate agency, Ralph Sayer, is recruiting more trainee solicitors.
The family-run business, which opened its doors in October 2022, has experienced sustained growth, and is on course to appoint a total of five trainee solicitors in less than a year.
The first of the five, Megan Kane, joined the firm in May 2024, followed by Katie Wright and Kirsteen MacKay, also in 2024, to meet rising demand for the firm’s services.
Chief executive, Ivan Ralph, who recently appointed 31-year-old Robyn Donaldson as a partner in the firm, is now looking to recruit another two trainee solicitors. He is seeking conveyancing trainees, who have completed their diploma in legal practice.
He said: “The trainee approach is a win-win for the firm and the trainees.
“It’s currently very difficult to find experienced paralegals or solicitors, as most people are well settled where they are. While we are always looking to recruit experienced people too, it’s a very competitive market, with not that much movement in the established ranks at the moment.
“The trainees we have brought in here have all done extremely well. They are a good fit for the firm, and have really hit the ground running, helping to ensure that our clients are well looked after. They also gain a good grounding, learning the ropes in a supportive atmosphere and attaining the qualifications required to further their careers.
“With things continuing to get busier and busier, it’s the right time to be adding to our staff.”
The roles are both full-time, in-office. Interested parties should send CVs to katy@ralphsayer.com.
