Job Details
Are you an experienced, or aspiring, contentious construction solicitor searching for a new, or possibly your first, assistant solicitor role in the Edinburgh area?
QED Legal's client, one of Scotland's leading contentious construction teams has a newly created opening for an assistant solicitor with at least six month's experience in a dispute resolution setting to bolster their increasingly busy team in city centre Edinburgh.
Do you have a desire to work alongside some of the most respected solicitors in this field, noted repeatedly over the years in the Legal 500?
You will enjoy an unparalleled caseload of commercial litigation matters related directly to construction and energy disputes. Even at assistant level you be heavily involved in large scale contentious disputes, assisting a Partner and a number of associates with a client list that is nothing short of stellar.
This is a firm renowned for recognising the efforts of solicitors even from an early stage in their qualified career and one that has an excellent track record of consistent career progression for those willing to go the extra mile.
Whilst it must be difficult to move away from already great quality work at your current firm, opportunities like this are few and far between so I would genuinely suggest that it is worth contacting me to hear additional details.
All calls are confidential and of course there is no obligation to apply for the role should it not align completely with what you are looking for.
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".
