Job description

Is it time to make the switch to rural?

I've said it before. There has NEVER been a better time to carve yourself out the career you want in this consistently buoyant, and massively market-proof, area of law.

Are you a property solicitor who has between 1 and 3 years PQE and seeking a new role in the Edinburgh or Glasgow areas?

If so, QED Legal's leading Scottish client, synonymous with quality rural and agricultural work in Scotland and beyond, has a requirement to add an additional solicitor.

You will be required to provide advice to families, businesses, trusts, and charities with rural landowning interests, undertake estate management, renewable projects, and the sales, purchase, and leases of rural properties including residential, agricultural, sporting, and commercial.

Candidates with experience in the purchase and sale of estates, farms, country houses, and forestry matters are of particular interest.

With the rural team at this firm not being even remotely top heavy, this is a clear opportunity for the associate with short to mid-term partnership ambitions. To achieve this, you will be required to have business development ideas and the desire and drive to make these a reality over the next few years.

This is a firm unparalleled as a recognised brand for rural property and agricultural work and an opportunity not to be missed.

With solicitors specialising in this area rare in the Edinburgh and Glasgow markets, consideration is absolutely being given to real estate solicitors who might want to sell CASTLES(!) rather than shop units.

All calls will be entirely confidential and there is no obligation to proceed beyond an initial chat should the role not be for you.

For additional information, please do contact Neil Campbell at QED Legal via the details provided. I look forward to hearing from you.
