Description

If you’re a Scottish qualified Property Solicitor with around two years’ PQE and you’re starting to think about your next move, this could be the perfect opportunity. One of Scotland’s true legal heavyweights, with a first-class reputation north of the border and enviable links to the City, is looking to grow its Residential Development team.

This is a firm that manages to be both a Scottish powerhouse and an international player. While deeply rooted in the Scottish market, they work closely with City firms and major national clients, meaning you get the best of both worlds – top-tier quality work, exposure to blue-chip names, and the balance and culture that comes with being part of a leading Scottish practice.

From day one you’ll find yourself working on an exciting mix of projects for national PLC housebuilders, regional developers, mixed-use investors, build-to-rent schemes, and large-scale residential projects. This is a sector that has shown remarkable resilience, continuing to thrive over the last few years and proving far less susceptible to economic dips than many other areas of property law. It’s an area where you’ll see the tangible results of your work, with projects that genuinely shape the places where people live and communities grow.

Whether you’re already working in commercial property and are curious about making the switch, or you’re a residential conveyancer looking to take your career in a more strategic and development-focused direction, this role offers the platform to do so. The team is friendly, ambitious, and on an upward trajectory – and you’ll be joining at just the right time to make your mark.

If this sounds like it could be the next step you’ve been waiting for, get in touch with Neil Campbell at QED Legal for a confidential chat. He’ll happily talk you through the details.
