Watermans welcomes two trainee solicitors

Scottish law firm and estate agent Watermans has appointed Fyza Aslam and Hussain Iqbal as trainee solicitors within its Glasgow dispute resolution team.

The pair will undertake two-year legal traineeships as part of the 23-strong team, handling their own caseloads while gaining practical litigation experience.

Fyza said: “Prior to starting my traineeship at Watermans, I gained a year of practical legal experience as a litigation paralegal and I can confirm – no two days are the same in a legal career! 

“I am looking forward to taking on new challenges, building my confidence, and continuing my journey towards qualification as a solicitor with Watermans.”

Hussain added: “There is always something new to learn, and fresh challenges to get stuck into, and I am excited for that. 

“I have had the opportunity to get involved from day one, and having my own caseload means I can keep building my confidence and taking on more responsibility and learnings as I go.”

Their appointments follow the progression of Robyn Lynch, who recently accepted a newly qualified position at Watermans’ Dunfermline office after completing her two-year traineeship within the firm's road traffic accident team.

Watermans, which has offices in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee and Dunfermline, plans to begin recruiting its next intake of legal trainees in January 2027.

The firm provides services spanning dispute resolution, personal injury, residential and commercial property conveyancing and estate agency.

John Dillon, director and head of dispute resolution at Watermans, added: “Glasgow has a strong pool of talent to choose from, and we are thrilled to welcome Fyza and Hussain to the team as they start their legal traineeships. 

“The new trainees will compliment and add further depth to the strength of our existing team within the firm.

“Supporting trainee solicitors has always been a key part of our business strategy, and our goal is to ensure that Fyza and Hussain develop their skills to prepare them for the world of work post-traineeship.

“Every year, our intake of trainees brings fresh perspectives and new ideas to the team, which is enormously valuable to all of us. 

“Fyza and Hussain encapsulate our company values of authenticity, approachability and ambition, and we are excited to watch them grow over the next couple of years.”
