Inverness-based solicitors Innes & Mackay has appointed a new director to its board.
Laura Cormack first joined the firm more than a decade ago as a legal secretary.
Hailing from Inverness, she started her career as a cashier at a law firm in Ayr, before moving back home to the Highlands.
Joining Innes & Mackay in 2010, Cormack soon showed an aptitude for legal studies – completing her paralegal qualification and then Law Society exams on the path to becoming a solicitor.
Completing her training last year, the firm stated that she quickly displayed the qualities required to make the step up to being appointed a director.
“I’m looking forward to working with the team to build on our solid reputation, expanding our reach across the Highlands while maintaining the high quality of legal advice our clients have come to expect,” commented Cormack.
“I didn’t go to university, so at times in my career is has been quite difficult to juggle studying with a full-time job.
“Studying to become a solicitor with the Law Society involves a great deal of self-guided work – so it taught me an even greater level of discipline in managing my time.”
Innes & Mackay has had a presence in the Highlands for more than 145 years, providing a range of legal services to clients across the region from its base in Inverness.
The firm provides advice in property and land law, estate agency, family law, powers of attorney, wills, executries and guardianships.
