Description

  • A leading international firm is hiring into its Scotland corporate team.
  • This team handles the best corporate work that comes through Scotland - a genuine mix of domestic and international mandates. All mandates are as lead counsel - no local counsel work. 
  • The workstream is properly balanced between private M&A and private equity, with a strong emphasis on the financial services, technology, and energy and infrastructure sectors, where the firm is regarded as a true market leader.
  • Magic Circle and US firms in London recruit regularly from this team. If London is the longer-term plan, a few years here is one of the most reliable routes into it from Scotland.
  • This firm has an active international mobility programme. International mobility is actively used rather than just advertised: secondments abroad, and permanent moves overseas for those who want them.
  • The culture is a large part of why people stay. Associates here actually like and respect each other and are regularly out for drinks after work, and the partners take their mentoring and development responsibilities seriously - they will back you to take your career in the direction you want it to go.
  • Demanding, yes, but the best calibre work and amongst the strongest salaries available in Scotland. If you want those opportunities without leaving the jurisdiction, this is as good as it gets.
