Faculty appoints Hugh Olson as training director
The Faculty of Advocates has named Hugh Olson as its new director of training and education.
Mr Olson takes over from Neil Mackenzie QC and he is the seventh director since the Faculty established the role in 1995.
Mr Olson said: “Neil has re-established the Faculty’s Training and Education Programme on firm foundations following the disruption caused by the Covid pandemic. The disruption meant that Neil had to come up with innovative ways of delivering the programme online. I hope that because of Neil’s efforts I will have the opportunity to build upon Neil’s success in delivering high quality training for members and devils.”
