Local people advance at Frazer Coogans Solicitors in Ayrshire Scotland

(I-Newswire) May 3, 2007 - Ayrshire, Scotland, Thursday 3 May 2007--As part of the firm's continuing expansion programme, leading Ayr-based solicitors Frazer Coogans have announced three new staff appointments.

Stuart Paterson (27), formerly an assistant solicitor, has been promoted to the post of Associate.

An increasing amount of Stuart's time is spent on domestic conveyancing, but his remit also includes family law and personal accident and injury claims.

Born in Ayr, where his father is a house builder and his mother a teacher, Stuart is a former pupil of Belmont Academy, and studied law at the University of Strathclyde and the Glasgow Graduate School of Law. He served his legal traineeship with Glasgow solicitors Cameron Macaulay.

Stuart and his fiancée Nicola are getting married in July, and will be returning to Ayr to live.

Carly Young (25) has completed her two-year legal traineeship with Frazer Coogans, and has now been appointed as an assistant solicitor with the firm.

Also born in Ayr, Carly went to school at Kyle Academy and studied law at Glasgow University and the Glasgow Graduate School of Law.

She said: "I am looking forward to continuing my legal career with Frazer Coogans, where I completed my traineeship."

Carly specialises in commercial leasing and conveyancing.

Margaret Mackin (43) was born in Muirkirk, and has worked at Frazer Coogans since 1988, during which time she has seen many changes, not least the introduction of information technology and the dynamic expansion of the firm in recent years.

"When I first came here," she said, "there were just the two original partners, and I was the only employee.

"I started off as the receptionist, and then trained as a cashier. In 1992, I obtained my diploma from the Society of Law Accountants in Scotland."

Margaret has now been promoted to the post of Office Manager.

Commenting on the three latest staff appointments, Frazer Coogans senior partner Norman Geddes said:

"In making these three in-house appointments Frazer Coogans are delighted to recognise local talent and ability. The commitment and application shown by Stuart, Carly and Margaret has been recognised in their well-deserved promotion. This will assist our growing team to contimue to provide a first-class service to our valued clients."
