• Act for clients across energy, infrastructure, and broader commercial sectors
• Manage client relationships with increasing responsibility and autonomy

• Contribute to business development and the continued growth of the Scottish corporate practice

Who We’re Looking For:

• Qualified Solicitor (3-6 years PQE) with strong experience in Corporate/M&A work
• Trained and/or currently working within a top-tier or highly regarded commercial firm
• Excellent technical ability, attention to detail, and commercial judgement
• Confident communicator with a proactive, relationship-driven approach
• Motivated, collaborative, and keen to be part of a growing and ambitious team

What’s on

Offer:

• Exposure to high-quality, complex transactions with major national and international clients
• Supportive and progressive working culture with genuine career development
• Direct access to leading partners and opportunities to build your own client base
• Hybrid and flexible working options
• Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package
