Ulster University graduates Aimee Johnston and Michael Evans have commenced their solicitor traineeship with Millar McCall Wylie.

Aimee joined Millar McCall Wylie as a Paralegal earlier this year and has now begun her training within our Matrimonial & Family department, based at our new Belfast Printworks offices. Michael joined the firm’s busy Residential Property & Private Client department as a Paralegal earlier this year and will now continue his training as part of this team, based in East Belfast.

Amy-Lee Farmer who is a paralegal within the firm’s Litigation department has also agreed training terms. Although currently on a sabbatical in Australia, she will take up her role upon return to Northern Ireland.

Since 2020, the firm has employed 14 trainees as part of our team of multi-specialism lawyers.  Jan Cunningham, Managing Partner, comments: “There is a wealth of talent coming into the legal sector here and to harness that, we need to offer a career and working life that is fulfilling, rewarding, balanced and enjoyable. To attract young trainee solicitors, we need to focus on being a great employer in the hope that we can be part of their career journey for years to come.

“We are delighted for Aimee and Michael to be commencing their training with us. They have both already made their mark as impressive, skilled members of the team. We will do our utmost to make sure they are supported, mentored and given a varied amount of experience, so that they can build an onwards path that best suits their individual goals and further enhances the firm’s offering to clients.”
