Team: A highly regarded and fast-growing Private Client department

Salary: Lucrative salary + excellent benefits & work-life balance

An opportunity has arisen for a 1-3 PQE Private Client Solicitor to join a highly regarded independent Scottish law firm in their welcoming Glasgow office. This role offers the chance to become part of a close-knit, high-performing team with a reputation for delivering practical, high-quality advice across the full spectrum of private client matters.

You will manage a varied and interesting caseload involving complex estate planning, inheritance tax advice, trusts, wills, powers of attorney and executries. The firm also acts for a number of high-net-worth individuals and families, so you will gain exposure to sophisticated, high-value work from the outset.

In this position, you will work directly with experienced partners and senior associates, benefiting from ongoing mentorship and support as you develop your technical skills and client-handling expertise.
