The defendant PI market is flying in 2025. Insurers are doubling down on quality and turning to the strongest litigators to defend complex, high-value claims — and this is your opportunity to be right in the middle of it as that momentum carries straight into 2026.

You’ll be joining one of Scotland’s most driven and ambitious insurance litigation teams in a Senior Associate role, with a proven record of delivering standout results across Employers’ Liability, Public Liability and Product Liability. The Glasgow partnership is a real draw: approachable, commercially sharp, and genuinely joined-up across the wider firm. That means you’ll work closely with leading specialists beyond your immediate team, with the support and input you need to run cases confidently and progress quickly.

Expect real autonomy, excellent insurer clients, and the backing of a firm that’s modern in how it delivers litigation — focused on outcomes, efficiency and smart resourcing. Glasgow will be the main base, but flexibility is built in: Edinburgh-based candidates are very much in scope, and hybrid working across offices is part of the culture rather than a perk.

Crucially, this is a role with a clearly defined progression path. The firm is actively looking at future partnership succession, and for the right Senior Associate there is a genuine, realistic route to Partnership within the next three years.

This is a role with serious momentum behind it. What’s been building through 2025 isn’t slowing down — it’s set to accelerate into 2026, with sustained demand for senior defendant PI lawyers who can lead complex cases, deepen insurer relationships, and help shape the next phase of the team’s growth.
