What can you expect as a trainee?
Deborah Alexander, 2017 Trainee following 2015 Summer Placement
I assisted two of the firm’s solicitors with obtaining Confirmation on a number of executries and conducted a will review to ensure all wills which were held on file were accurate and up to date. I had previously undertaken placements with other firms however my placement with Harper Macleod was different – I really felt that I was being given the chance to be involved in ‘real’ client-facing legal work for the first time.

Victoria Robinson, 2017 trainee
Harper Macleod stood out to me because of its business-minded nature to provide practical solutions in an evolving business environment. It is a firm that puts the client at the centre of everything they do and I was keen to be a part of this client-based approach.
