What’s that, Neil? A contentious construction role… in an international firm… with flexible working, genuine work/life balance and a stellar caseload?

Job Description

Nah.

Surely not.

But—plot twist—it absolutely is.

My client, a global practice with a growing Scottish presence, is looking to add a disputes solicitor to their team in either Edinburgh or Glasgow. Construction experience would be ideal, but they’re equally interested in speaking to strong commercial litigators who are ready to specialise or broaden their contentious skillset within a market-leading environment.

You’ll work closely with a Partner who’s widely recognised for both their technical excellence and their investment in developing talent—someone who actually makes the “supportive leadership” line in job ads mean something. And you’ll be joining a disputes offering that continues to expand as major infrastructure, energy and commercial projects keep the pipeline busy well into 2026 and beyond.

Now, I could reel off fifteen bullet points about the caseload, the cross-border work, the household-name clients, and the career progression on offer… but where’s the fun in that?

Why not get in touch using the details provided, and I’ll tell you exactly why this might be the move you’ve been waiting for.
