Paisley-based MJC LAW has appointed Nikkala Kelly as a Trainee Solicitor and promoted Courtney Convey to Trainee Legal Assistant.

Nikkala joins the firm after completing her undergraduate degree in Scots and English Law at the University of Strathclyde in 2025. She then completed the Diploma in Professional Legal Practice at the University of Glasgow.

MJC LAW owner and director Matthew Coffield said: “We are delighted to welcome Nikkala Kelly to MJC LAW as a Trainee Solicitor. Nikkala stood out from a strong group of applicants as an excellent candidate. It is an exciting time as we help shape the next generation of first-class solicitors.”

Courtney joined MJC LAW as a Legal Secretary in August 2025.

The role will allow Courtney to continue her studies while building on the practical experience she has gained since joining the firm.

Matthew said: “We are proud to announce that Courtney Convey will be staying with MJC LAW and has been promoted to Trainee Legal Assistant. Courtney will continue her studies towards a university law degree while gaining rich experience of life at a firm of solicitors.
