Laura Youngson, 2nd Year Trainee

Life so far as a Trainee Solicitor with Aberdein Considine has involved a lot of hard work. I have faced many challenges but have gained considerable personal and professional satisfaction from dealing with these.

Having the opportunity to work in different Offices and Departments in such a large organisation is great for gaining experience and has helped me to develop skills, knowledge and confidence. I have dealt directly with a wide range of clients under the supervision of a Partner and I have really enjoyed this face-to-face contact. The partners I have worked with have been extremely supportive and it is reassuring to know that they are there to offer advice at any time.

Carrying out research for colleagues has been most interesting - especially the more unusual cases such as the "sliding garden"!

Although Trainees work hard, they also play hard and I can thoroughly recommend the nights out! All the staff at Aberdein Considine are very sociable!!

The highlight of my time with the Firm so far, has to be being named "Trainee of the Month" recently.
