Every so often, a role comes along that quietly ticks boxes most people assume are mutually exclusive: high-quality contentious work, an international platform, flexibility that actually means something, and a workload that respects life outside the office.

This is one of those roles.

My client is a global law firm with a rapidly growing presence in Scotland, now looking to add a disputes solicitor to its team in either Edinburgh or Glasgow. While experience in construction disputes would be a strong advantage, the firm is equally open to speaking with accomplished commercial litigators who are keen to develop a specialism—or broaden their contentious experience—within a genuinely market-leading environment.

The role offers the opportunity to work closely with a Partner who is widely respected for both technical ability and their commitment to developing people. This is a team where support and progression are not buzzwords, but an embedded part of the culture. You’ll also be joining a disputes practice that continues to expand, fuelled by major infrastructure, energy and commercial projects that ensure a strong and varied pipeline well into 2026 and beyond.

I could list the expected selling points: complex and interesting work, cross-border matters, well-known clients and clear career progression within an international firm. But that would only tell part of the story.

If this sounds like the sort of role that’s worth a closer look, get in touch using the details provided and I’ll happily talk you through why this could be a genuinely compelling next move.
