Eva Hunter and Marcus Jones were admitted to the roll of solicitors earlier this month, becoming the first trainees to qualify in Scotland through Burges Salmon’s programme. They join the firm’s banking and finance and construction and engineering teams respectively.

Danny Lee, partner and head of the Edinburgh office, said: “Over the past two years, Eva and Marcus have shown exceptional commitment and capability, and we’re thrilled to see them begin their careers as solicitors with us in Scotland. 

“We were also delighted to welcome our new trainees last week and remain committed to nurturing homegrown talent as our Edinburgh office continues to thrive.”
