Leading North east solicitor and estate agent Raeburn Christie Clark and Wallace LLP is continuing to support the development of local legal talent with the recruitment of three trainee solicitors. 

Greg Center, Matthew Crews and Emma Taylor have commenced their two-year traineeships with the firm this week and will look forward to developing their legal skills across several seats within the firm over the next twenty—four months.

Greg, originally from Inverurie, studied for his LLB at the University of Aberdeen.  He developed his legal career locally working as a paralegal focusing on debt recovery.  Greg’s first seat will be in RCCW’s residential property team based in the firm’s Union Street ‘Property Shop’.    He will be joined at that branch by Emma Taylor, who will also start her RCCW career in the residential property team.  An Aberdonian, Emma undertook her LLB and DPLP at the University of Strathclyde and   like Greg she will support local clients’ property sales and purchases. 

Matthew Crews has been working for the firm as a property assistant in RCCW’s Inverurie branch, and he will continue to develop his residential property skills, supporting the branch team there. Matthew hails from Kemnay and completed his LLB and DPLP at Robert Gordon University in the city.

Managing Partner Callum McDonald said, “Once again we are delighted to be supporting and developing home grown talent.  Greg, Matthew and Emma have already demonstrated a wide range of academic and employment skills during our recruitment process.  We are very much looking forward to working with them and helping them build their practical legal knowledge and skills to support the future growth of the firm.  We wish them all the best in their RCCW careers”.

Head of Residential Property Bill Barclay said, “As a firm we are keen to continue to invest in our staff and the local and regional workforce.    Greg, Matthew and Emma will be real assets to the Residential Property Department and the wider firm.  Their enthusiasm, energy and ideas will provide an invaluable contribution to their respective branches, the department and the wider firm.”
