Prince Sarao is a Trainee Solicitor at Turcan Connell, currently undertaking a family law seat as part of his traineeship. Based in the Greater Glasgow area, he is building experience in family law after gaining a broad foundation across land and property, tax and succession, and private client work.

Prince brings a thoughtful and people-focused approach to legal practice. He is known for combining technical ability with emotional intelligence, helping him connect well with clients and colleagues alike. His wider background in music and performance has also shaped his calmness under pressure, discipline and attention to detail.

What Prince Sarao Actually Does

Prince is developing his practice in family law as part of his traineeship at Turcan Connell. His wider traineeship has also included seats in land and property and tax and succession, giving him a valuable understanding of the financial and private client issues that can often overlap with family law matters.

His experience to date includes:

• Family law traineeship work within a leading Scottish private client firm
• Previous experience in land and property matters
• Exposure to tax and succession work
• Experience of legal research, client-facing work and case preparation
• Strong grounding in negotiation and relationship-building

Why He Stands Out

Prince offers more than technical legal training. He brings a rounded perspective shaped by leadership, teamwork and cultural engagement. His background as a percussionist has strengthened the same qualities that matter in legal practice: focus, preparation, composure and the ability to perform under pressure.

He is also commercially aware and adaptable, with a clear interest in the intersection between law, people and wider life experience. That makes him a strong emerging talent for clients who value both professionalism and personality.

Training, Education and Experience

Prince has been a Trainee Solicitor at Turcan Connell since September 2024. Before starting his traineeship, he completed a summer internship with the firm in the Land and Property Department, where he gained practical experience in residential and commercial conveyancing. His performance during that internship led to his training contract offer.

He also developed wider legal and leadership experience through:

• Shadowing criminal defence work at Manini Belardo Matteo Solicitors
• Serving as a Student Ambassador for Sikhs in Law
• Acting as Vice President of the Glasgow University International Law Society

Prince studied Scots Law LLB at the University of Glasgow and went on to complete the Diploma in Professional Legal Practice there with Distinction. He was also a national finalist in the International Negotiation Competition, which is a strong marker of his advocacy and negotiation potential.
