Digby Brown launches ‘Digby Brown Academy’ to support career development

Digby Brown is strengthening its commitment to our people with the launch of a new training initiative for all members of staff.

The Digby Brown Academy builds upon already established high-quality training pathways to ensure all staff in legal and business teams can access professional development courses. 

It brings together all learning and development opportunities under one umbrella making it easier for staff to access while promoting collaboration and professional growth.

Wendy Quinn, Director of HR at Digby Brown, said: “This is an exciting opportunity for all our staff to access training that will support their professional and personal development.

“Digby Brown has always supported continuous learning, and the Digby Brown Academy will make it easier for both legal and business teams to access training that will support them as they progress in their careers.

“The Academy brings together collaboration, growth and professional excellence under one roof building on our already well-established legal learning and career development pathways. 

“This will ensure everyone from the point of recruitment onwards can access opportunities that will benefit them and their career.”

How the Digby Brown Academy works

Through the Digby Brown Academy our people will have access to a variety of development opportunities designed to support learning at every stage of their career:

• Monthly in-house legal education programmes aimed at enhancing knowledge and professional growth across the firm.
• Access to external training courses for both legal and business teams so our people have access to the tools and resources needed to continue growing throughout their careers.
• Monthly wellbeing initiatives are offered to support staff health and wellbeing to create a positive working environment while encouraging personal and professional growth.

Fraser Oliver, Chief Executive of Digby Brown, added: “Giving all people from our legal and business teams access to the latest training initiatives means we can further develop our talent and deliver the highest quality legal service which will lead to positive end results for clients while positioning Digby Brown as an employer of choice within the Scottish legal sector.”
