2025 Legal Traineeship Opportunities
Type: Legal traineeship
Location: Edinburgh
Allan McDougall Solicitors is currently seeking trainees for our Summer 2025 intake.
About us
Allan McDougall Solicitors is one of Scotland’s leading litigation law firms. A progressive, expanding firm, we have three distinct teams specialising in personal injury, family and employment law. We litigate in The Court of Session, The All-Scotland Sheriff Personal Injury Court, the Sheriff Courts and the Employment Tribunals. As approachable experts, we pride ourselves on our excellent reputation for client care and results, and offer a pleasant, supportive working environment.
About the role
The traineeships will have an emphasis on personal injury litigation, where the firm acts for pursuers and is referred cases by leading trade unions and many other law firms throughout Scotland. There will also be some exposure to employment law cases. While the focus will be on legal work and training, you will have opportunities to develop your skills more widely by becoming involved in other areas of the firm’s business, such as corporate social responsibility and marketing activities. Based in our central Edinburgh office, you will be mentored by a nominated solicitor supervisor.
To be successful in this role you will be well-organised, keen to learn, articulate both in written and spoken language, able to communicate effectively, and empathetic.
