I’m working with a standout Scottish boutique firm that is looking to bring in a Senior Associate employment lawyer as they continue to strengthen their highly respected team. If you’re at the stage in your career where you want more influence, more visibility, and a genuinely supportive environment, this is one you’ll want to hear about. The firm offers the quality of work you’d expect from a top-tier practice but with the pace, personality and flexibility that only a boutique can deliver.

The role involves a broad mix of contentious and advisory employment work, acting for an impressive and varied client base. You’ll have real freedom to develop relationships, shape matters strategically and carve out your own practice, all while working alongside partners who are collaborative, grounded and genuinely invested in helping their lawyers progress. They’re looking for someone with strong technical skill, excellent judgement and the confidence to handle complex, sensitive issues with care.

What sets this opportunity apart is the firm’s culture and its long-term outlook. There’s no unnecessary hierarchy, no feeling of being lost in a large machine — just a close-knit, modern team where your voice carries weight and your career ambitions are taken seriously. The partner track on offer here is not an empty selling point; the firm is actively looking to support the right person into that next step.

If this sounds like the move you’ve been waiting for, I’d be delighted to chat it through in more detail. You can reach me, Neil Campbell at QED Legal, for a confidential conversation.
