Sam Anderson

Sam is a final seat Trainee Solicitor in our Commercial Real Estate team. He joined Thorntons in March 2025 after completing his first seat in Commercial and Construction Litigation before moving to Commercial Property.

Sam graduated with a Bachelor of Laws (LLB with English Law) and Diploma in Professional Legal Practice from the University of Aberdeen. Before starting his traineeship, Sam spent a few months at a small firm working in their rural property department where he gained some early experience in property-related matters including title examination and land registration. He is particularly interested in commercial leasing and land tax. Sam is also a Notary Public.

Sam strives to provide commercially focused advice. He prides himself on being approachable to clients and is always happy to pick up the phone to discuss matters instead of email. 

Away from the office, Sam enjoys playing the guitar, cooking and spending time at the gym.
