Ralph Sayer appoints its own homegrown solicitor

Edinburgh-based legal firm Ralph Sayer has appointed Megan Kane as solicitor, marking a milestone in the company’s growth as its first trainee solicitor to qualify with the company.

Megan joined the firm in 2024 as part of its expansion plans and has successfully completed her two-year traineeship. 

A graduate of Edinburgh Napier University, she also holds a Diploma in Legal Practice from the University of Strathclyde.

Having qualified as a solicitor, Megan has now accepted a permanent full-time role with the family-run firm.

She said: “I spent much of my traineeship doing conveyancing. 

“I started off assisting the managing partner while slowly building my workload and by my second year I was managing my own caseload independently. 

“In my second year I also spent four months within the firm’s private client department where I assisted the partner in that team and gained invaluable experience.  

“I have built great personal and professional relationships throughout the firm, and I am excited to continue that. 

“My traineeship with Ralph Sayer has been a wonderful way to start my career in law

and I am excited to continue to develop with the firm as I step into my new role.”

Megan’s appointment comes during a period of continued growth for Ralph Sayer, which has expanded steadily since launching four years ago, with chief executive Ivan Ralph having overseen a rise in headcount from an initial team of six to over 40. 

The firm was recently shortlisted in the Growth Strategy of the Year category at the British Business Awards, reflecting its ongoing investment in talent and development.

Ivan added: “Megan has been an excellent addition to the team.

“She has consistently produced high quality work, has taken on a large case load and has fitted into the team seamlessly, both professionally and personally.

“We are delighted to have her on board in a full-time capacity and it’s an important appointment for us. 

“Megan was our first trainee when she came in two years ago and I am delighted that she now becomes the first newly qualified solicitor to join us since we started out in 2022.”
