Work With Wallace Quinn

Trainee Solicitor, Livingston

We’re looking for a TRAINEE SOLICITOR to work with the team in our Livingston office. You’ll be a confident communicator who can work well with colleagues and meet demanding client expectations.

Wallace Quinn opened in 1990 and has offices in Glasgow, Livingston and Bathgate, with clients all over the central belt of Scotland. We specialise in conveyancing (both residential and commercial), private client and equity release, but cover other areas of legal practice. We have a strong track record in new-build conveyancing, working alongside many of Scotland’s top builders. We may be a long-established firm, but we have a modern, contemporary attitude to our business. We’re embracing technology and innovative practices in our case management, client relations and business development. We believe approachable, clear and engaging client relations are key to our development and our continued success. We believe in giving our staff room to grow in their professional careers with training and support.
