Job Details
Are you an experienced contentious construction solicitor operating in the Edinburgh market or considering a move there?
If so, then please do read on.
With expansion in mind, this leading Scottish legal firm seeks to add to their ranks with a contentious construction solicitor with a minimum of 3 years PQE. Whilst the role has been considered as an associate level role, consideration will be given to accomplished assistant solicitors on the verge of making the step up.
You will be immersed in either the Glasgow or Edinburgh markets at present and have demonstrable experience of high value, large scale construction and engineering disputes.
To be considered for this role, you must have a minimum of one year experience of dispute resolution and come with a passion for high quality commercial litigation.
As this role will give you the opportunity to become involved in future business development, candidates with these skills are of particular interest.
This is a role with genuine prospects and defined career progression, with a firm that would be described as being at the forefront of contentious construction work in Scotland and beyond.
For a confidential discussion, please contact Neil Campbell at QED Legal via the details provided.
I look forward to hearing from you.

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".
