RecruitmentR & R Urquhart LLP is something of an anomaly amongst the Scots law firms. Located in the North of Scotland, the Firm is actively engaged in a diversity of complex areas of the law normally undertaken by larger city firms. The Firm is fortunate to represent a wide range of private and commercial clients based principally in the North. The Firm has a particularly friendly and dynamic atmosphere and we are always on the look out for enthusiastic and like-minded people to join our team. The Firm currently has some 60 staff across its three offices in Forres, Nairn and Inverness. Whilst specific vacancies are typically advertised whenever a space arises, we welcome applications from anyone interested in joining our team be it solicitors, paralegals and support staff, and applicants should please send a copy of their cv together with a covering letter to the attention of Lesley Laughton in our Forres office at 121 High Street, Forres, Moray, IV36 1AB.
TRAINEE PROGRAMME
The Firm began a Trainee Programme in October 2007 and currently offers places to three trainees at any one time. The Trainee Programme generally begins each year in October, with initial interviews taking place at any point during the year and then second round interviews taking place during the autumn before the following cycle. The programme is divided into three to four seats of six to eight months each in the areas of commercial law, private client, trusts & executries, litigation and land law. Our aim is for trainees to experience working in each of our three offices, and to gain as round an experience as possible of the legal services we provide. Applicants for the Trainee Programme should please send a cv, covering letter, transcript of university grades and an example of a piece of written work (eg university paper, article or dissertation) to the attention of Jamie Whittle in our Inverness office at 2 Ardross Street, Inverness, IV3 5NN.
