Job Details
Are you an associate level private solicitor in the Edinburgh market considering a move to role that can offer a defined route to Partnership?
My central Edinburgh client has a desire to appoint an associate with partnership ambitions as they look ahead to succession planning within their private client department.
You will ideally come from a private client background with an Edinburgh firm, and have experience of all aspects of private client work including wills, trusts, inheritance and tax planning. Candidates with a STEP qualification and experience with power of attorney work are of particular interest.
This is an excellent opportunity to work on a ready made caseload of mid to high value private client matters and enjoy the defined route to Partnership that a succession planning role offers you.
Perhaps you feel like a small cog in a large machine at the minute and cannot see the path to progress with your current firm.
If this sounds like it could be for you, please do not hesitate to contact Neil Campbell at QED Legal via the details provided for a confidential discussion.

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".
