Job Details
Are you a private client solicitor, currently operating at senior solicitor or associate level in the Glasgow or Edinburgh markets and considering a move?
Would you considering working alongside one of Scotland's leading private client practices and assist them in driving the department forward during some ambitious growth plans?
If this sounds like you, then please do read on.
My client, has a requirement for a solicitor at associate level to take on a key role within a team seeking to plug a gap at this level due to a high level of partners and assistants but with few in between.
Ideally you will be seeking a role in Glasgow, but genuine consideration will be given to those hoping to be Edinburgh based. As a firm at the forefront of technological adoption within the legal world, they belief that the need for someone to be based out of a particular office is something that will phase out over the next decade and they are already ahead of this curve.
You will be a private client specialist with experience of wills, executries, tax, trusts and estate planning and ideally be STEP qualified or working towards this.
You will work alongside three of the most respected Partners in Scotland's private client market and enjoy their support and mentoring as you begin your journey towards the forefront of this field.
This would be the ideal role for an ambitious senior solicitor looking to make the step to associate or perhaps a recently-made associate who is finding that the next level of their career is not proving everything you had hoped it would be with your current firm.
Consideration will be given to England & Wales qualified solicitors looking to either move home or relocate to the central belt of Scotland.
For additional information, please contact Neil Campbell at QED Legal via the details provided.
I look forward to hearing from you.
