Trainee Programme
Message from the Managing Partner
I started as a trainee with Malcomson Law. I specialised in litigation after qualification and became a partner. I initiated various agreements with the Government of the day, which subsequently became law. I represented victim groups at inquiries; I undertook high profile High Court cases - all on the basis of the training gained during my traineeship period. 
- Raymond Bradley, Managing Partner
