Job Details
Are you a solicitor considering a move in or to an in-house setting and with a grounding in property and/or commercial contracts?
If so, then please do read on.
QED Legal's client, a successful, independent business with an international clientele is seeking to recruit a solicitor with a minimum of three years PQE to manage some of their legal affairs, primarily a large volume of commercial leasing and straightforward commercial contracts work.
In addition to these duties, you will be required to look at the work currently outsourced to other legal service providers and make a judgement on what could potentially be brought in-house.
There is the opportunity to become involved in other areas of the business alongside your legal responsibilities should you so wish.
You will already have operated as in-house counsel or be an accomplished private practice solicitor looking for something else out of your career rather than remaining on the fee earning treadmill towards partnership.
This is an utterly unique role in Edinburgh at present, with a highly competitive salary and exceptional benefits structure in an organisation enjoying a very successful growth period.
For additional information, please contact Neil Campbell at QED Legal via the details provided.

QED
An acronym of the latin phrase quod erat demonstrandum which translates as "thus it is demonstrated" or "that which was to be demonstrated". It is most often used as an annotation at the end of a complex mathematical, scientific or philosophical argument to show that the author had proven what he had set out to prove. In recent times it has also been translated as "Quite Easily Done".
