Lindsay McCosh

I grew up in Zimbabwe, and moved to Scotland in 2014 to pursue an LLB in Law and History at the University of Glasgow. I completed an Advanced LLM in European and International Human Rights Law at Universiteit Leiden in 2021, and was awarded a distinction for the Diploma in Professional Legal Practice at the University of Glasgow in 2022.

During my studies in Glasgow, I worked as an intern at Legal Services Agency, Shelter Scotland, and JustRight Scotland, gaining experience in immigration, housing, and human rights law. Additionally, after completing the LLB, I worked as a Legal Analyst at Ashurst LLP. In this role, I assisted the banking team with large scale projects, including the delivery of the Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme.

I commenced my traineeship with Balfour+Manson in June 2022. I have spent time in the Public Law, Judicial Review and Human Rights team alongside Elaine Motion and Sindi Mules, and I am currently in the Medical Negligence and Personal Injury team, working alongside Ann Logan, Michaela Guthrie, Carolyn Jackson, Alannah Jones, Bryony Walker, and Susan Rae.

I have enjoyed developing skills and experience in diverse areas of law and working alongside experts during my traineeship at B+M.

When I’m not at work I can usually be found sailing, hillwalking, or curled up with a good book and a cup of tea.
