Scottish law firm Thorntons has continued its investment in future legal talent with the appointment of seven newly-qualified solicitors. The recruits have completed two-year traineeships and will join specialised teams across the firm’s offices, from St Andrews to Perth and Dundee. Chair Colin Graham (second from right) said: “In 2016 we took on our highest ever intake of trainees in one year, and we are delighted that we can now welcome seven newly qualified solicitors to our teams. It’s vital for any firm to invest in the development of its own talent.”
