Aimee Urquhart’s Story

About me

I have an undergraduate degree in Social Sciences. During my degree, I had a particular interest in forensics and criminology.

After graduating in 2017, I began my career working for a criminal defence firm in Inverness. I have experience in criminal law and some experience in commercial dispute resolution.

I began studying to become a Paralegal in Criminal Law in 2021, qualified in September 2022, and became an Accredited Paralegal in August 2025.

I started working for Scullion LAW as a member of the Support team, providing administrative support to all departments. I now work as a Paralegal for the court department, which I love. Criminal law has always interested me, and I am constantly inspired to learn from my colleagues.

Interesting facts:

I have travelled to over 21 countries so far and can’t wait to see more of the world!
