Well Done, Claire
20th June 2011
Renfrewshire Law Centre Directors & Staff wish to congratulate Claire Gillies on completing her legal traineeship with the Law Centre to become a fully qualified solicitor with effect as of 15 June 2011, and we are pleased to announce her decision to remain with the Law Centre, hopefully well into the future.
A graduate of both Paisley University and Strathclyde Law School, Claire joined Renfrewshire Law Centre in early 2007 as a law student volunteer. Working here in order to pay her way through university, she formally joined the Law Centre staff on a permanent basis as a paralegal in mid-2008, and in May 2009 began her traineeship here, obtaining her Trainee Practising Certificate in mid-2010. Possessing an impressive array of academic and professional qualifications from Bachelor of Arts to Law Degree to Diploma in Legal Practice and Notary Public Accreditation, on 15 June 2011 she completed her traineeship, entitling her to practise as a solicitor on a fully qualified basis in the employment of a law firm, dispensing both Legal Aid Advice & Assistance and Civil Legal Aid. With a breadth of experience in social welfare law, housing law and civil litigation, Claire is also a notary public as well as a child safeguarder.
